Kyrsten Sinema may be beginning to crumble regarding Biden's agenda, but it's too little, too late. Now that the agenda has been largely whittled away and is a shell of it former self, she knows like her constituents know that she didn't begin to give until her donors were happy.
It's almost certain that she will get a primary challenge. And, no matter how much donor money she gets, that will not make up for lost support. She has betrayed her voters, and everyone in America who needed her to be honorable and forthright. That bridge is now burnt.
None of her actions have been about the public good, but about her personal benefit. Her actions and those of Manchin have made the chances of retaining the majorities and the work required to do it exponentially harder. She and Manchin have acted in complete bad faith.
Politicians tend to expect for voters to have short memories and be easily distracted. But, these are strange, difficult, and extremely frightening times. The people who led stand out, and do do the ones who failed, or worse, betrayed the public.
And for those reasons, no one will forget about what she and Manchin have done.
