Cringe = worse than bad politics

"I'm going to ride this out for six years and then take a cushy job as a lobbyist or perhaps a professional cable news host. There is literally nothing anyone can do to stop me. Fuck off, peasants."
What would even be the point? Her term is up in 2025. She does that, and the planet's only going to be more fucked and we're only going to have even more crises rolling up. She's going to have to live through the horrors coming just the same as everyone else.
It's extremely believable. She's a US senator, cruelty is her whole job
There is literally nothing anyone can do to stop me.
Haha well especially in Arizona that is not true!
:cheeto-man: Sinema can't post, she never could! But, what do people expect from a democrat who acts like the lady from the hunger games when it comes to poor people? Very disrespectful. SAD!
ever since he got banned from Twitter it's like he's a ghost howling through the wall from another dimension.
at first I figured he'd win if he ran again but I honestly don't know if he can without a platform like the bird site. how does he still have a way to connect with his base and drive the media narrative?
I read this in Jesse Ventura's voice.
Politics is just worse kayfabe for baby brained libs.
At least the popcorn munching football team nonsense we ended up with somehow.
Yeah that's why I'm not to certain on him running again. But if he did run there might be some weird law where he'd have to get his twitter back lol
She dresses like a Harry Potter villain, so this is to be expected.
on /r/neoliberal a few of those dorks thought this was witty
so exactly what you expect
they told her to go full cartoon villain because they know her seat is locked down tight, too bad she's so unfunny
This is like, smartass middle schooler more than comic book villain.
that's what I'm saying, she can achieve the look but doesn't have the chops
I think she'll lose reelection at this point, but she doesn't care. She cares about nothing.
And it's a six year term.
The term nihilist gets thrown around a lot, but I really can't think of any other term to describe her. Everything I've read about her is just one contradiction after another.
She's not making any demands for the major legislation she's blocking, and apparently whatever money she's receiving from lobbyists right now is peanuts. She's also lost any support from the moderate wing of the party, making it near certain that she'll lose her primary. It's totally nihilistic because she's literally not gaining anything if value here. Like this isn't a cynical calculation, it isn't her trying to extract stuff for her state, she's seemingly doing this for fun. It's insane.
Edit: she's like a batman movie villain, there's just no motivation for her actions, she just wants to cause chaos :jokerfied:
She will make more on a book deal and a right wing media run talking about how the angry commies ran her out of the Dems.
The sneering affect reminds me so much of every richkid r/neoliberal poster I know IRL.
It's not enough that they have politics they know are inhumane. They get off on shocking people and taunting them about it.
She's pissed off her state democratic party, the senate leadership, and the administration. Apparently she's not actually making demands. I have no idea how she thinks she'll win her next primary, having cute quips doesn't mean shit if the party is signaling to not support you.
Don't think she cares, apparently she's more concerned with the lobbying career after and getting paid to make 30 min speeches at fundraisers.
I'm kind of lifting stuff from what Sam said today, but he thinks that she's tanking her chances at this as well. For a lobbying career you need some sort of legitimacy backing it, you need to show you have some connections with one of the parties or with the senate, and right now she's very publicly burning bridges with the Democratic party. And similar with the fundraisers thing, the person who tanked a Democratic president's agenda isn't the one giving fundraising speeches for Democrats.
I have to respect it. This situation (politician cockblocks his Party's platform) could be very dry and boring but she is such a CHARACTER.
Very publicly avoiding your colleagues, then giving a Sitcom response when asked about it.
Having every lib sending you hate mail 24/7 on twitter, while youre on Instagram instead scrolling through WineMomMemes.
Making ~180k a year and spending it exclusively on the ugliest wigs and clothing ever imagined.
Doing the fortnite dance every time you oppose your Party's platform.
Not even bothering to show up to work, no explanation.
Who else is doing it like this?
