Quite obviousy, she's being bribed by the Repugs and oligarchy, and promised more $100Ks later

Kyrsten Sinema’s approval rating crashes -- and she's hurting herself with independents as well as Dems


bucking her party isn't doing Sinema any favors back home.

The numbers show that "46 percent of Arizona Democrats approved of Sinema's job performance in the third quarter of 2021,

down 21 points from the first quarter,"

while "42 percent of all Arizona voters approve of her, compared with 48 percent who said the same earlier this year."

the same for voters across key battleground Congressional districts in Arizona.

"The decline was largely driven by Democratic voters, who, at 46 percent, are now 21 percentage points less likely to approve of the Arizona senator's job performance than they were at the beginning of the year,"

14 percent of Arizona Democrats say they 'strongly' approve of Sinema, compared to 28 percent who said the same in the Jan. 1-March 31 surveys."

Manchin Targeted for Trying to Sink Democratic Agenda

West Virginians gathered at the senator’s yacht to

demand that he stop blocking the “popular and needed” Build Back Better package.

Manchin on Thursday faced fresh pressure from his constituents, who traveled from West Virginia to rally at his Washington, D.C. residence (https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/sep/28/national-republican-senatorial-committee/does-joe-manchin-have-700000-luxury-yacht/)—a houseboat named “Almost Heaven.”

“West Virginians like me should not have to come all the way to our senator’s yacht in D.C. to be heard,”

“This bill is popular and needed across our state and across political parties, but Sen. Manchin is still blocking it.

We’re tired of feeling like we’re on a battlefield against our own representative.”

“We need healthcare, child care, affordable prescriptions, environmental justice—

everything in the Build Back Better Act,”

“He needs to get out of the way and do what we, his constituents, have long been demanding.

Pass the full bill, Joe Manchin.”

It's really problematic for this administration. They've been politically inept. They had a choice to make a few months ago:

1) Try to rein in Manchin and Sinema or expose them for what they are and campaign on obstructionist republicans.

Result: nothing gets done, but you have scapegoats and a solid excuse to fire up some of your base in the midterms to actually show up and vote, with hopes you can get something done in the last two years.

2) Try to 'negotiate' with what can only be summed up as the opposing party, without any leverage.

Result: nothing gets done, you look inept, spent your political capital promising results and showing none, your base thinks you're stupid, you become a lame duck for the last two years.

The additional problem with 2), is now they're going to look desperate to cut any deal which means bending over backwards, getting shit in return and probably pissing off half your base.

But they knew they had no leverage from the get go. They completely misread the situation or who they were planning to negotiate with.

Biden's always just been a shit negotiator and he needed a VP who could get her hands dirty for him, unfortunately that's definitely not Kamala.

I think you win the small wars and expand them in the future when you have more votes.
Agreed, the focus for this bill needs to be on what has the most immediate impact which is child tax credit / universal pre-K / family leave / ACA subsidies. Universal pre-K is esp. important since it'll be the most helpful in terms of giving women the ability to get back to work and ensure the unemployment rate is lower headed into midterm season.

[Winehole23]

The Dems are the Washington Generals of politics, but they kind of have to be. Their whole schtick is selling solutions to the problems their corporate donors cause.

Another tack would be building broad-based public support by passing policies that concretely benefit large numbers of people. Once upon a time, the Democratic Party did this and controlled Congress for 52 years.
