I’m have said this before but I was a different person then. It’s worth repeating my belief that you cannot game theory every political choice. “You” being a voter or a small community. It doesn’t matter if this is what Sinema wants. That’s unknowable. And it’s not a poker game.
I don’t know if this is the conversation that Sen Sinema wants us to have. And I suspect that you don’t know that either. I know that it is a conversation that should be had, based on the available facts in front of me. That’s all any of us can do.
The idea that every individual political choice we make can be gamed out is a logical fallacy of an obscenely rich and literate nation. It’s political astrology.

I long ago decided that people who program a lot of our most ingrained technologies do not themselves have a lot of friends and demands. There is no way you would design this if your phone was buzzing every 10 seconds.
In a moment of oversharing: I dated a guy once who was obsessed with being busy. The only problem is that he...was not busy. Like ever. It was a constant tension point between us because I am VERY busy and very annoyed by it. He could not fathom my life & I couldn't fathom his.
Is that the threshold now? I have to stay with you after you shoot yourself on the face??? Because I am gonna be real, that feels like an exit point.
Until this moment I would have felt safe saying, “yes, my last relationship ended after he shot himself in the in the face.” I would have thought everyone hearing that would nod in empathy.
