I have been told she considers herself an Independent but knew should couldn't get elected on that ticket so she chose to run as a democrat. I don't agree with a lot of her positions but I am glad she held firm on the filibuster and Build Back Broke.

Maybe only if Independent is synonymous with bisexual.
Sinema's positioning herself for National campaign.
For those of us that are old enough to remember, her and Manchin are acting like old school democrats…..now they’re being vilified by their own party for doing exactly what they took an oath to do…

Doesn't manchin have his own bill on the filibuster written up? Or was it on voting? I think he would be easier to turn back to the dark side.
There is No Bill or legislation concerning the filibuster change.
It actually called The Cloture Rule.
The Senate tradition of unlimited debate has allowed for the use of the filibuster, a loosely defined term for action designed to prolong debate and delay or prevent a vote on a bill, resolution, amendment, or other debatable question. Prior to 1917 the Senate rules did not provide for a way to end debate and force a vote on a measure. That year, the Senate adopted a rule to allow a two-thirds majority to end a filibuster, a procedure known as "cloture." In 1975 the Senate reduced the number of votes required for cloture from two-thirds of senators voting to three-fifths of all senators duly chosen and sworn, or 60 of the 100-member Senate.
What the Democrats are trying to do is modify or end a Senate Rule, The Cloture Rule.
All that is needed to change the rules is a simple majority vote, no Bills, no legislation, just a Yes or No vote on a rule change.
I think Sinema is actually pretty left leaning. As I recall she has a degree in sociology, so that should tell you something. However, she appears to be pretty smart about reading the political winds and recognizing that if she wants to be reelected she has to be a bit careful about how she votes on hot button issues. I think she wants to be a senator for a long time and is voting accordingly based on Arizona politics.

Make all the jokes you want but she is a skilled politician and a VERY committed leftist. She comes from a well connected family. I am ashamed she represents Arizona.
One thing for sure is she’s not dumb. Democrats are only thinking about today. She knows if they do away with cloture, it will backfire when republicans take the senate. Never figured Arizona would elect a switch hitter. Hasbeen

Good grief, maybe you'd rather have another Warren or Pelosi. She's a dem, but she has a backbone.

Interesting and somewhat revealing thread - speaks more about our posters than it does about KS.
Yes, she is a politician who reads the wind and tries to secure her future - but she seems far from ordinary among that crowd. Who knows her actual bed rock ideology - I sure don't, and am not knowledgeable enough to speculate here.
Not so for others - much emphasis on who she is, what she thinks and wants, questionable motives - reads like People Magazine. Is that substantive in comparison to what she has actually done in this matter?
No doubt there are other Dem Senators who did not want to vote 'yes" and her stance - and action - gave them cover. Did they collude on that - who knows?
But - she DID something very telling, and stood by it. How much does her action matter in comparison with the speculation points?
She's got more brains than all the other Democrats in Arizona, as well as Congress. I think maybe she paid attention in civics class and understands the filibuster as a buffer against really stupid stuff by ANYONE.

She could have seen 55,000 people at last Saturdays Trump rally.

Attitudes like this are what permitted the democrat party to get their hooks into the country.
