In 2002, The Arizona Republic published a letter from Kyrsten Sinema, then a social worker preparing to run for a seat in the state House of Representatives, putting forth a critique of capitalism. Capitalism, she wrote, gave us NAFTA, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization, which benefit the American ruling class at the expense of workers in the United States and abroad. “Until the average American realizes that capitalism damages her livelihood while augmenting the livelihoods of the wealthy, the Almighty Dollar will continue to rule,” she concluded. “It certainly is not ruling in our favor.”

I think voters were suckered again into thinking she “had” to court rw voters to win but would stay true to her expressed values, whether they were sincerely held or not. I’ve seen this play out for over four decades, repeatedly and somehow we always move economically right, regardless of superficial socially left policy that incidentally is never codified, along the way, with rare exceptions that conveniently disappear instantaneously when one party regains control, while the most abhorrent are perniciously stubborn and stick when the other party regains control.
