C'mon, @MorningEdition, you can't do a piece on why Sinema left the Dems by simply repeating her story that she's 'too independent or moderate' and not mention why so many Dems were critical.
Too independent? Puhleeze. Sinema is too beholden to wealthy corporate interests. 1/6

Was it independent to vote in an oil exec in charge of fed lands?? 2/6
