I didn't think she really ever intended to run again, which is why she was so brazen about burning every possible bridge to the ground. I assume she intends to get a bs job for one of the people who bought her.
Yep, killing the $15 minimum wage will get her a nice job at some corporate think thank.
I agree, it is a gift link... it feels like Christmas.
As a pan person can I just briefly express how disappointing it is that Kyrsten was our first bi senator? Fucking hell.
She wasn’t bi, she was buy. As in “you could buy me.” which we often found her happily being bought.
"Bi" seems an apt description of her party affiliation.
I thought it was apt. She'd fuck you ~~over~~ regardless of gender.
What is a gift link?
Some newspapers and online news sources require a paid subscription to read the article. Subscribers can create a link to the article so people who don't have a subscription can read it. There's a limit to how many gift links a subscriber can create, in the case of Washington Post it's 10 per month.
Thank you for the explanation. It's a term I've only seen recently and I've waited a little while to see if I could figure it out by context but that hadn't happened yet.
Good riddance
Somebody convinced her she wasn't going to win?
Or paid her to drop out.
Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.
This would be my guess. Most of the polling showed her hurting Lake more than Gallego.
What a piece of shit. Bye Felicia.
She would have split the republican vote. This is bad news.
That's precisely why she's dropping out. Her handlers did the math. Same reason No Labels is doing their bullshit. All the polling data says they would take more from the GOP, which is the exact opposite reason they even exist.
Sinema always reminded me of Sarah Paulson cosplaying as George Santos cosplaying as Sarah Paulson cosplaying as a politician.
Alternative headline: Grocery decides too cash out.
I am okay with this.
And nothing of value was lost. Kick rocks barefoot you vile cunt of a woman
[gift link]?
This is about Kirsten Sinema.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
