Coventina

Fri Dec 9, 2022, 11:21 AM Dec 2022

I'm an Arizona Dem who has known Sinema for decades. [View all]

My family actually has a long, difficult history with her.

I won't tell the full story, as it involves the most intimate details of other family member's lives.

Suffice it to say, she has been an agent of chaos and destruction in people's lives going back to her college years.

The weirdest part of it all, is that she was so hardcore liberal/progressive. She refused to use self-checkouts in grocery stores, even if not doing so would make her late to an event or appointment. To see her morph into this creature she's become is a complete betrayal of the values she used to expound constantly, to the point of refusing to be friends with people who didn't meet her standards.

Having said all that, I have always voted for her, for the "D" next to her name.

No more.

No "D"? No vote.

I hope she enjoys her money and notoriety.

She clearly cares nothing for the people who loved and trusted her and were betrayed by her along the way.

FUCK HER!!!!
