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.
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.

Same idiotic legacy RBG earned.
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 She could’ve retired during the Obama administration and been replaced by someone who wasn’t going to rule against abortion rights.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.
Good riddance, sick of all these geriatric fucks. Liberal but sick of old fucks
Just hope people remember this next time I have to hear about Bernie Sanders, we need young blood ffs
It's sad that my reaction was "thank God", but as long as these politicians outlive their welcome in office, that's going to be the case.
Don't feel so bad, she was a career politician not a person
Well at least they didn't try and pull a weekend at bernies with her.
They have been doing that for awhile…

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Feinstein, the oldest sitting U.S. senator, was a passionate advocate for liberal priorities important to her state – including environmental protection, reproductive rights and gun control – but was also known as a pragmatic lawmaker who reached out to Republicans and sought middle ground.
“I recognize that women have had to fight for everything they have gotten, every right,” she told The Associated Press in 2005, as the Judiciary Committee prepared to hold hearings on President George W. Bush’s nomination of John Roberts to replace Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court.
Two decades later, after 20 children and six educators were killed in a horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, first-term Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas similarly challenged Feinstein during debate on legislation that would have permanently banned the weapons.
In 1990, she used news footage of her announcement of the assassinations of Moscone and Milk in a television ad that helped her win the Democratic nomination for California governor, making her the first female major-party gubernatorial nominee in the state’s history.
Under Feinstein’s leadership, the intelligence committee conducted a wide-ranging, five-year investigation into CIA interrogation techniques during President George W. Bush’s administration, including waterboarding of terrorism suspects at secret overseas prisons.
Feinstein become the top Democrat on the Judiciary panel in 2016 and led her party’s messaging through three Supreme Court nominations – a role that angered liberal advocacy groups that wanted to see a more aggressive partisan in charge.

Well that's gonna throw a wrench into Gavin Newsom's interlude of hanging out on MSNBC chat shows, he is gonna have to make a decision.
You can do it Gavin!
I wouldn’t be surprised if he already had his staff create a list.
She was 90 in June, obviously not doing too well, and it would’ve been prudent to plan for the fact that she was probably not going to be around much longer.
He has almost certainly already decided. She was clearly unwell for a long time.
Dianne Feinstein dies at age 90

Reminds me of someone else, Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
BREAKING! Ruth Ginsburg R.I.P. Democrats Posturing Begins!
If Gavin Newsom was a Republican, and if temporary appointments were lifelong, you’d be making a good point.
Yes, you are right, not a direct correlation
This just reminds me of another not visually well politician still running in office until the reaper comes for them, instead of retiring.
I’m waiting for Mitch McConnell to retire too, but these old fucks just won’t fucking quit.
He'll die in office same as Feinstein. Hopefully it happens next week.
Seems to be the only way for most of them to retire…
Yeah, bloods and crips keep them until death.
Bro fuck off with that Jimmey Dore horse shit.
Hello friend,
It is just another point of view, from a comedian that has been consistant with left issues, calls it how it is.
Have a great day!
Hello “friend”
Users are annoyed because you’ve been posting that same shit on every fucking thread about her to the point of spamming
Well, lots of posting of a similar subject on different instances, so not sure how often they collide with each other.
I am used to the downvotes without too many comments, thank you for letting me know.
I should have crossposted the comment?
a comedian that has been consistant with left issues
Bro the only joke that guy has is claiming to be a comedian.
Dude is gaslighting incarnate.
He is not perfect, but no person is. He is with faults and has his own ways of doing things.
I still think the working class message he provides is better than other yters that fall for the crips/bloods status quo talking points.
It's not about perfection. The dude is a complete fraud. He gaslights as a left-winger. Drop him.
