I used to be impressed that I was in a class with Krysten
Sinema. I found out later, of course, she was finishing up her third or fourth
degree at the time, so it would be more distinctive in Arizona colleges to
matriculate without encountering her. The class was Women’s Studies so there
was a lot of Sharing(she was always way up to speed on the reading) so it was
easy to feel close to the small class.
I remember that she said somebody at the statehouse, if memory serves, now gone
after his own sexual harassment scandal, found out she was bisexual, said
explicit things to her.I remember an almost boundless optimism and faith in the
ability to change the system from within.(If your Bohemian Crip had been the
GIF-saving type, she would find one for “We’re Not Worthy!” right now.)
But that’s what you get for hero-worshipping these people
and being too attached to the hip, femme trappings on the outside. Years later,
$8 million campaign later, she’s making promises that have the potential to
hobble the future of the Democratic Party, if not the future of the planet.
Who is this for? I think the system rubbed off on Sinema more than her
aggressive femininity has left a mark upon it.
