      I mean, this doesn’t explain anything really? Warnock raised $17 million and Mark Kelly raised $8 million. She’s choosing to raise less money than she likely would as an ordinary Dem. Mystery is why she prefers to raise less money like this

          Yeah, that's more plausible but: Any ex-senator can get a cushy lobbying gig if they want to. No matter what your voting record was, firms will want to pay you to give your former colleagues their spiel; might even be more potent coming from a known progressive...

          So, burning monetizable goodwill among your Democratic colleagues for the sake of cashing out in 2025 doesn’t make much sense. Maybe she specifically dreams of sitting on Merck’s board. But even that begs some kind of psychoanalytic explanation

          Sure but whats weird about this is that she's making herself a much *less* attractive target for a cushy lobbying job, because every single other Dem senator, even the other centrists, clearly deeply hate her

          Well, that's an openly and radically corrupt conclusion, which you, Jeet, seem to be presenting to us while shrugging your shoulders and justifying it. If you aren't shrugging your shoulders and justifying it, let us know. You should know that you appear to be justifying it.

          Still don't buy it. She can get rich sinecures either way, and Kelly is raking in much more money. Why arent the other 47 dems doing it too?
