Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California has died. Three people familiar with the situation confirmed her death to The Associated Press on Friday. She was 90.
It’s sad that her legacy and career had to end like this. Now she’s going to be most known for not retiring when it was VERY obvious that she should retire.
No one seemed to learn the lesson of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It doesn't matter what you've done throughout your career. People will remember how you selfishly held on to power.
Its not just that, but the material costs of doing so. The DNC is a gerontocracy. Their voters are an inconvenience. The actual leadership and policy heads of the party do not want the same things as their voters.

RGB’s is even worse. She could’ve retired during the Obama administration and been replaced by someone who wasn’t going to rule against abortion rights.
Although, Dianne Feinstein is also to blame for not pushing back harder against RGBs far-right replacement.
You are correct, but I think it speaks to a broader pattern among the gerontocracy. This could have just as easily happened in a Republican governor swing state.
I bet her handlers knew better than to leave her around stoves but then they let her cast votes in the senate. Yet mostly everyone in the Senate ignored it.

Same idiotic legacy RBG earned.
