Sinema is a strange politician in all sense of the word. Sinema is full leftist on abortion, illegal aliens, gun control and LGBT ideology but somehow she vigorously protects the filibuster.
but somehow she vigorously protects the filibuster.
If you ask me, it because she knows that for all their attempts at suppressing the Populist movement and the Republican Party that is being taken over by it, they will never be able to stop it forever. And if the Populist had a president and a Congressional majority that doesnt have to worry about filibusters? Then all the Dems have done is awoken a sleeping beast, filled it with a terrible resolve, and now gave it a weapon to hunt them with. So like many a politician before her, she protects it to save her own skin.
It is just that the AOC's taking over the party are so retarded and short sighted they dont realize it can happen to them.
All they need is one term where they have all their ducks lined up and the filibuster is gone to destroy everything, and they own a good portion of elections via fraud now. Meanwhile they know conservatives won't ever move fast enough to really take advantage of a no filibuster congress.
Democrats vehemently hated her for defending the filibuster and they openly said they planned on primarying her in 2024 with Ruben Gallego.
Now she avoids the Dem primary as an independent but in a race against a Republican and a Democrat, she will lose as the left portion of the Dems absolutely hates her.
The question is who benefits more from her splitting the vote?
Will cucked moderate Republicans or moderate Democrats vote more for her?
Hard to say whether this screws the 2024 Dem nominee more or 2024 Rep nominee more.
This is just a bizarre turn of events if she wants to maximize her chances of winning re-election.

There is nothing strange about that. Assuming for a moment that she actually cares about what she says she cares about, preserving the filibuster is bad for Democrats in the coming 2 years, but good from 3-infinity years - because of their structural disadvantage in the Senate.
People literally can't see more than 1 move ahead.
Although it would be rather funny if Manchin switched to GOP and gave republicans the senate (provided Mitch doesn't get to be senate majority leader, lol).
Manchin has been a Blue Dog Democrat for decades.
I don't think Manchin ever switches.

How does this help her survive in 2024?

If the choice is between Sinema or a Democratic party-line vote, you'd be a fool to not support Sinema.
Maybe.
Hard to figure out what she is thinking when she does this now of all times?
