For what it’s worth, Joe Manchin (the third) is also “not what America wants right now”

If she means that there are consequences to screwing your voters and your party, then yes, she is not what America wants right now.

I’m sure she will land on her feet as a highly paid lobbyist or talking head somewhere, which is what her goal was all along.

Yep, America does not need a fascist apologist, thanks.

Sinema, who built a reputation as a deal-maker who sought to bridge the partisan divide in the Senate to foster compromise,

Fuck you.

I guess she’ll have more time to be an announcer for The Hunger Games now.

Yeah, she definitely did not do that.

"The only political victories that matter these days are symbolic

This comment right here illustrates my problem with her. So securing rights for trans people, for people of color, and for women is symbolic? Really? Lives are at stake here. Literally. Fuck, out Democracy is at stake here. This is just more both sideserism from her.

[Punchcard]

Cool, fuck off.

Yeah, right over there.

Yeah, okay. And when you get over there, just… keep fucking off.

Look, in the interest of brevity, just keep doing that forever.

"The only political victories that matter these days are symbolic

Says the woman who did a little attention -seeking dance on camera right after betraying her party and constituents. I wish I could say good riddance, but she has plenty of damage left to do in whatever new role she takes.

Manchin is unfortunately almost certainly going to be better than whoever replaces him, and I can’t stand Manchin. Gallego on the other hand seems like a strong candidate.

Sinema, this you?

Less a Sinema, more of an unpleasant film.

I think this is a veiled way of saying she wants to go to the private sector and make a shit-ton of money
