| | + | == Sinema's departure from the Democratic Party and committee activities retained, properly analyzed in summary == |
| | + | |
| | + | It's interesting that the Senate Democratic leadership, at least on the perspective of public political visibility, expresses no retaliatory backlash nor repression at Sinema for leaving the party. [https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3768741-schumer-says-sinema-can-keep-committee-assignments-after-leaving-democratic-party/ Schumer seems to be undeterred nor demoralized by the move.] Why? |
| | + | |
| | + | First of all, the timing probably isn't coincidental... Warnock wins the Georgia runoff three days ago, giving the Democrats a 51–49 majority, then Sinema leaves the party, making its political prospects more apprehensive and uncertain for the upcoming congressional session. Here are the possible explanations: |
| | + | *'''sheer personal opportunism/future career''': the 2022 election demonstrated a sound rejection of populist quackery on both sides of the political spectrum. Sinema seeks to solidify a public reputation and appearance as a maverick to gain an appeal as a moderate, and may not truly have abandoned her hardline progressive roots; ahead of the 2024 elections, when she will be up for re-election, it may suit her political expediency best, particularly in a state with a history of political mavericks (Sinema is basically, at least in public image, becoming the Democratic counterpart to McCain), to portray herself as an independent from both parties |
| | + | **Sinema could possibly be seeking a presidential bid in 2024; [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/07/28/third-party-candidate-white-house-2024/10166931002/ there's already solid dissent from a large plurality of voters in contempt for partisan politics] |
| | + | *'''genuine independent convictions''': it's possible that Sinema genuinely has some level of a change of heart in reaction to the policies of the Biden Administration; especially in contrast to her history as a far-left nutjob, the increasing level of open breaks from hard-left policy proposals may constitute ''some'' level of convictions against the excesses of partisanship, and the exit from the Democratic Party demonstrates this |
| | + | *'''political trading''': why did Sinema leave the Democratic Party and still retain her committees? There may be a secret backdoor deal involved; as RobSmith [[Talk:Kyrsten Sinema|emphasized earlier today]], committee rules in the Senate are crucial to take into account. So long as Democrats have VP Harris to cast tie-breaking votes, any potential votes cast on the Senate floor by Sinema against the party, calculated ahead of time, can be for legislation which would pass even with her public dissent. And remember: bills must pass committees before making it to the floor. Sinema can side with Democrats in committee for key legislation to ensure that it makes it to the floor (and in such instances, the MSM will completely ignore it), then vote against it on the floor knowing it will pass anyways while portraying herself as an austere independent. |
| | + | **I think this is the most likely explanation. It serves a double-edged purpose, simultaneously giving Sinema an increasing public glorified reputation as an independent, while hardly compromising the ability for the Senate Democratic Caucus to pass the Biden agenda. The fact that Schumer, [https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3768451-white-house-expects-to-work-successfully-with-sinema-despite-party-change/ and Biden as well], evidently aren't worried, demonstrates that some political backdoor poison may be brewing. |
| | + | **Furthermore, consider what would happen if Democrats took the other direction and stripped her of committees; they'd received backlash from moderate elements of the electorate as leftist hacks, and Sinema could retaliate back against the Democratic caucus by consistently opposing their agenda in both committee and on the floor; it suits the Senate Democrats considerably better to ensure her quiet support that allows their agenda to pass through. |

| | + | :Her actions are hard to make sense of. ''Politico'' reports Schumer agreed she get to keep er committees. Quitting the party wasn't necessary to save the filibuster. One other motivation comes to mind: if she wants to get re-elected, she could jump parties sometime before 2024 and run as a Republican. Perhaps she needs time to build a bipartisan base between now and then, and has it in mind all along. She'd be the GOP's first lesbian Senator. "Sure, I'm a lesbian.
