On Friday, one of the most shocking moves by a politician in recent memory happened with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema leaving the Democratic Party.
The Arizona senator made her announcement with a video and an op-ed explaining her decision to become a registered independent. Adding more intrigue to the situation is the fact that she isn’t committing to caucus with the Democrats, something that could affect committee power-sharing agreements in the next term.
Admittedly, I never thought Sinema would go that far. She’s a liberal from a state that is apparently fine with electing Democrats and becoming an independent means she loses the support of the party structure (including funding). It also means she might end up with a deficit of voters in 2024 if both parties put up their own candidates, making it a three-way race.
Regardless, the merits of Sinema’s decision will be argued for a while yet. What’s not in question, though, is that Democrats have learned zero lessons from the ordeal. Instead of realizing they drove Sinema out of the party with their far-left hysterics, they are simply doubling down. You’re shocked to learn that, I know.

I don’t agree with many of Sinema’s political positions. But I do respect her for standing up for her beliefs when she doesn’t agree with the establishment Democrat Party. Good for her for breaking away from the official Dem Party. Will that make a difference? Probably not much. But she is still brave for doing what she did and I applaud her courage.
