She originally was a Green Party member who ended up running in the Peace & Freedom Party with Cindy Sheehan of all people as her running mate only for Sheehan to unsuccessfully disassociate with Barr soon after.

Then Barr starts supporting Trump and then it's like she's both MAGA and a socialist. I know she's gone bonkers for the last number of years (especially with her tweets) but it's clear she wants the whole system blown up.
That's been pretty well bunked for a few decades now. OTOH, people who are fundamentally authoritarians can pretty clearly move between right and left with ease.
Nah, I see her pulling a Manchin and becoming a No Labels member. She fits the bill and naturally will do anything she can to stay relevant. I doubt going to the GOP will suit her.
I find Barr fascinating:

The horseshoe left is far closer to the horseshoe right than it is to even the furthest left members of the Democratic party.

Especially when their center-left nominal allies who actually hold power are much less willing to go authoritarian.
The difference between democratic socialists and authoritarians is not one of degree but one of kind.
I wonder whether Sinema will ultimately become a right-wing extremist.
If the $$$$$$$$$$$$ comes in, absolutely.
Probably.
likely already is!
There's no evidence of that.
More likely a fiscally conservative socially liberal commentator who claims said position makes her wiser than all other beings.

Doubt it. She isn't crank at all, more like an extreme highbrow 90s establishment type. She's a true believer in bipartisanship for its own sake.
That’s definitely No Labels vibe for sure.
I think she will enjoy life on corporate boards and as a vineyard owner.
