In reply to the discussion: Kirsten Sinema does not appear to be a serious legislator [View all]Ocelot II
(115,683 posts)46. No, of course not, and you know very well that's not what I mean.
What Sinema is clearly trying to do is stand out from the boring herd as a maverick with a mind of her own, and one of the ways she seems to be doing this - besides constantly obstructing the Democrats' agenda - is by dressing like a goth teenager or something; it's not sexy, just weird. If a male legislator showed up wearing Zubaz, flip-flops and a Grateful Dead t-shirt (though I think he'd have to wear a tie) so people would notice him, he'd get a well-deserved ration of crap for that, too. Gym Jordan is a less extreme example - he never wears a suit coat, maybe just to show off his muscles, but everybody notices, which is no doubt just what he wants.

Most of the time she dresses like she's going to a picnic, not to a congressional chamber.

In 5th grade, I had a pair of white go-go boots & I felt like a rock star when I wore them!

Yes, unique in her being a rare Democrat that gave Trump a standing ovation.

Thank you. No, it's not just you. The homophobia in this thread is appalling....

I think he's telling us the Sinema uses her "sexuality" to serve her own self interest.

What I'm hearing is that he's judgemental and a poor ally. Why is "sexuality" in quotes?

I absolutely read what he wrote. It's a reprehensible misrepresentation to say she is "blocking it".

In what way is *she* blocking a bill that has never been introduced on the floor?

Oh you are playing the "if it hasn't been voted on it's not blocked" game to cover for those two.

"Ally" means someone who is not a member of the community. I was correcting you.

If she thinks *that* getup is sexy she's seriously confused - but I doubt that's it.

I think men or women in their 40's who constantly posts gifs or smileys is worse than that.
