Sinema’s Exit From the Democratic Party Is Good News

<p>The Democrats&rsquo; 51-seat Senate majority lasted about three days.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/12/09/1141827943/sinema-leaves-democratic-party-independent" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Kyrsten Sinema is leaving the Democratic party.</a>&nbsp;Chuck Schumer&rsquo;s control of the Senate just became more precarious.</p> <p>The ramifications of Sinema&rsquo;s decision are not yet known. Will she caucus with the Democrats, like Maine&rsquo;s Angus King or Vermont&rsquo;s Bernie Sanders? That looks likely, but we don&rsquo;t know what the action will mean to the Democrats&rsquo; and Joe Biden&rsquo;s agenda.</p> <p>While progressives and partisan Democrats are chagrined with Sinema&rsquo;s move, it is good news. Her action is a repudiation of the toxic partisanship rampant on Capitol Hill. She is rejecting not only her former party but the Republican party as well, suggesting that extreme partisanship is an obstacle to good policy.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/deans-list/sinemas-exit-from-the-democratic-party-is-good-news-923b06a32430"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
