    • To get Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s vote, and the Inflation Reduction Act passed, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats had “no choice” but to drop the provision that would have closed the carried interest tax loophole from the bill.
    • Sinema has been fighting since at least last year to help preserve the tax break, which allows hedge fund managers, law firm partners and private equity executives, among others, to pay significantly less tax than ordinary workers.
    • Since the start of the 2018 election cycle, she’s raked in at least $2 million from the securities and investment industry — outraising Senate Banking Chairman Sherrod Brown’s $770,000 in industry donations over the same time, FEC data shows.
    Good riddance, too bad she'll have a cushy 6 figure job doing nothing this time next year...

    I supported and even donated to her 2018 campaign. I wasn’t happy with several of her positions and also felt there were many times she wasn’t taking her job seriously including skipping key votes to go do triathlons.

    She was though instrumental in getting bipartisan legislation passed including on gun control. It’s unlikely Biden would’ve been so
    Successful legislatively without both her and Manchin helping to win over Republicans in a closely divided Senate.

    Judoks, not a fan of your tepid contented I guess you could call liberalism, which I believe has led the working class to irrational despair and turn to Trumpism, but did you really?

    The quickness in which she went from progressive to corporate shill to independent is astonishing. It's funny how that works, her and Manchin didn't support overriding the parliamentarian for minimum raise hikes and still had no chance of reelection...they could've at least threw the working class some scraps there.

    I hate a fraud more than anything...

    Epilogue

    - instead of running (and losing) - turns out Kyrsten Sinema spent 2024 pressuring her married head of security to have an affair with her & going to concerts as she turns into a crypto/data ctr lobbyist and missed lots of critical votes

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ex-sen-kyrsten-sinema-sued-001358541.html

    One of the worst to ever do it. You hate to see it . Hope she gets her ass kicked by the wife on court (the details are pretty insane if you read the complaint)
