Anyway, I posted this because multiple rightoids tried to argue with me and claim I was wrong and Sinema was totally fine and popular among Arizona dems.
I claimed Sinema was in a lot of danger, because she isn;t Joe Manchin. The DNC is gaining ground in arizona and can't ignore the left-wing activist bloc or they risk sinking turnout in the state.
Surprise surprise, this is the exact reasoning the state party is now rejecting Sinema:
But she faces political dynamics unlike the other Senate moderate thwarting Democratic ambitions, Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Representing a state that former President Donald Trump carried by nearly 39 percentage points in 2020, Manchin is unlikely to face a progressive challenger who would gain traction.
In Arizona, however, Democrats are ascendant. Joe Biden was the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state since 1996, and the party is eager to build on that success. That makes it harder for a Democrat to simply ignore the left here, particularly in a primary election.

We're a long ways out from the McCain era of the Republican party. I don't even think McCain could win a primary there.
This is especially true after the radicals routed the moderate Repubs at the state level in basically every swing state.

It's so weird when people look on the Palin/McCain era as this epic time for the party

I mean it wasn't, but the party was way more moderate back then than it is now, even if Palin helped radicalize the party.

She can do one photo shoot with MTG and Lauren Boebert, all holding guns, and problem solved.
