Chapters
Okay, so Kyrsten Sinema is out from Democratic Party. She's now an independent, and these kind of moral decisions are things that I like chewing on and thinking about. So regardless of your affiliation, what party you're in, I'm Canadian, it doesn't even matter. On the one hand, you know, she was from the Green Party. She left the Green Party, became a Democrat, and she got elected. She lost as Green Party, she won as a Democrat, and she got elected to serve her people as a Democrat, right? If she was a Green Party, if she was independent, she wouldn't have won the election. So she won being a Democrat. But on the other hand, she feels like she can't be part of the Democratic Party anymore and doesn't wanna be there. I see both sides. Like, where is your loyalty? Is it to the people who elected you or is it to yourself and the morals and what you wanna create? I don't know. I don't know what I would do. I don't know if I would do it if I were her. What would you guys do? What do you think? Be gentle, be kind, be thoughtful, be respectful in the comments. Let me know.
