”By being Independent she can go both ways politically as she does sexually.”

Non-party binary?

[Destroyer Sailor]

I like her for being different from others. Elected officials from both parties are questionable in their political leanings . I can see that in the future more people running for national election will declare Independent. They then will state political leanings as well.

[M-cubed]

Im suspicious of Republicans who are allowed to win. <<<

So am I.... “allowed” being the operative word....

[Tipllub]

I just read that she is going to get to keep her committee spots. These are apportioned by party caucus, she is effectively still a Democrat senator.

[DPMD]

Like all the other frauds before her. all she did was join the Independent wing of the dem party.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

changed to unaffiliated a couple of weeks ago.

All that means is; now you will get bombarded with junk-mail full blast, by both parties, during campaign season.

They're hard-core after that "I don't know what I'm doing" vote.

[joshua c]

so who is the majority?

its r49 d48 i3

[robel]

So now she’ll be a IINO.

[Wilderness Conservative]

I get bombarded anyway. All my junk mail goes into the recycle bin before it gets in the house.

“ By being Independent she can go both ways politically as she does sexually.”

All democrat women are bi. Polar and sexual.

[Chode]

will this force Heels-up-Harris to still attend session?

[jz638]

Say what you want about her but she helped save us last year.

She (and Manchin) certainly got credit for keeping the filibuster in place, but a part of me believes that they were playing a role and actually supported behind the scenes by the dems who didn't actually want the filibuster eliminated, but were too cowardly to say it out loud. If it weren't them, the next most vulnerable dem coming up for reelection would suddenly develop an independent streak.

[Pilsner]

Apostates are never taken in by anyone or get anywhere or are trusted again. Look at Arlen Specter.

Never is not correct. Winston Churchill changed parties twice. When asked what that said about him his reply was:

Anyone can rat. To rat, and then re-rat, takes talent.

Is Sinema that talented? We may find out.

[xzins]

Actually, it means she’s challenging Joe Biden for the presidency.

[MHGinTN]

With (and his chinese wife) running the republicant senators, I can see why she doesn’t want to go all the way to party switch.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Generally, candidates don't waste their lit on the opposite party, and mail sparingly to their own party, since they'll likely vote for them anyway.

I get bombarded anyway.

Oh, you ain't seen nothin'yet.

(Unfortunately, it doesn't burn very well)

[Smber]

So...as of this announcement, there are 49 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and 3 independents in the US Senate. How does that give the democrats authority to set the agenda. (I don’t care about who “caucuses” with whom. You’re either a democrat, a Republican or independent.)

[blackdog]

Takeaway = The true results of the voter will not favor her without election fraud in 2024. She’s getting out in front of the cheat.

[SERKIT]

It’s actually 48D-49R-3I....I=Crazy Bernie, Anus King, and party/gender fluid Cinema.

[Republican Wildcat]

She only made this move after it made no difference.
