Still, stepping away from a party that is exhausted of her obstruction is another example of her temerity—and her disregard for the party’s future. Democrats, both in Arizona and nationwide, have been extremely critical of Sinema’s habit of blocking President Biden’s social agenda and what seems like her advocacy on behalf of monied interests. Sinema was one of seven Democrats to give the thumbs down to increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour as part of the coronavirus relief bill, and she held up the Inflation Reduction Act—a piece of legislation that saves the lives of working people and seniors by lowering healthcare and energy costs—to protect the financial interests of hedge fund managers through the carried interest loophole....

Nevertheless, with Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain not that far off, Konami still has to act as if nothing has happened.
