Who's written the best piece about why @SenatorSinema is so much more conservative than her state requires of her? Why deny people aid & stymie climate policy & generally cause misery when you don't have to? Why ensure that the Senate is paralyzed & useless if you don't have to?
Siding with Republicans in DC -- by supporting Trump's crap, by clinging to the filibuster, by rejecting ambitious policy -- is the opposite of "pragmatism." It quite deliberately ensures nothing can get done. She & Manchin have both convinced themselves that stasis is a virtue.
Manchin arguably has to do this stuff, though. @SenatorSinema doesn't. She's just straight-up betraying the progressive values she used to hold, for nothing -- no good reason, no outcome, no result, nothing. Just a twisted kind of vanity. She should be ashamed.
