I was being juvenile about the article stating "Sinema in a three way" but I do agree with you and it is a fundamental flaw of the current political and societal system where if you are not 100% invested into your tribe you might as well be 0%. IMO I think Dems overestimate their popularity and aren't willing to see the forest for the trees. Republicans in particular their base are in a dysphoric tailspin. I am assuming AZ doesn't have open primaries?
