being a do-nothing senator is a great gig. you have good pay, great benefits, a big staff that will tend to your needs, a platform for whatever you want to say, and you can travel a bunch too. after six years, you can parlay your experience into a 7-figure paycheck doing nothing.
the thing is, filibuster shenanigans aside, all the reporting i’ve read depicts her as someone with active contempt for liberal interest groups and constituents. if she wants to get reelected, that’s a weird way to go about it.

what’s striking is that we have a b test in the form of mark kelly, who is actually behaving in the way you’d expect someone to behave if they wanted to serve another term
the frustrating thing about the democratic centrists for me isn’t the ideology (such that it is), it’s the anti-partisanship and indifference to party fortunes. especially since, as we saw in 2010, it doesn’t actually work to insulate you from a bad national environment.
