You know, this right here is the reason why Kyrsten Sinema will never be John McCain.
John McCain bucked his party *because he listened to constituents and experts begging him to do it*. He didn't go run and hide and then say, I'm doing whatever the shit I feel like, cope.

Being a maverick doesn't mean opposing your party for shits and giggles. It means having a solid moral core and putting your constituents over your party bosses.
That's the opposite of what Sinema is doing when she refuses to hold town halls or ignores voters calling her office.

McCain's thumbs-down moment on the Senate floor that tanked the Obamacare repeal bill was the product of months of him *listening* to low-income and disabled Arizonans, begging him to stop this, to stop Congress from ruining their lives.
By contrast, when Sinema goes around saying, no I won't support $3.5 trillion, no I don't want Medicare to negotiate drug prices...who is she doing this for? What principles are behind it? Who is urgently begging her to take this brave stand? No one. She just wants the attention.
