Why the fuck is she still in this position? You don't see an 87 year old in any other fucking job. It's ridiculous.

The issue is that politicians accumulate influence and power over time. It's why a 40 year old politician is considered relatively young in the political game.

She has tons of wealthy donors.

It's also a power trip. Power is very addictive.

She's one of the biggest mysteries to me in the senate. At least Schumer I can understand (adequately catering to centrist whites in LI, Staten Island and upstate). Who is voting for Feinstein in California of all places? Ro and Porter should be shoe-ins for her replacement in the most liberal state of the union.

Reminder #1,000,001 that Democrats are fucking useless and don't care about you. Nothing will happen once Trump is out. AOC and her squad is not enough to make any real change in this shitty dinosaur of a party.

The dinosaurs went extinct.

Give it some time. AOC + All other POC/LGBTQ communities will continue to change the party from within.

it's easy to see why so many people have come to hate the democratic leadership and establishment and have become so disillusioned when you see scenes like this, with Democratic leaders being so buddy buddy with the Republicans who the same Democrats claim are so awful. It's like a little club of rich people and the whole show of antagonism an act of theatre.

1000% agree. I do think that this is to a large extent a side effect of 1) six year terms in the Senate and 2) no term limits. Senators see each other as colleagues to a greater degree than Representatives do. If they started in the Senate before the last ~15 years of extreme partisanship, I could see how they still could act like this.

Unfortunately, I do think that Biden likely shares this mindset.

.

Yep, for many of them it is just a job. They hang up their work clothes and go ahead and socialize together after. I have come to the conclusion that we are like sports fans who view the opposing team as the enemy. Meanwhile the players are there for a paycheck. So they have no problem hugging and laughing it up afterwards regardless of the outcome.

Republicans/GOP aren't that much better. We're better off with progressives.

What the fuck? And she's suppose to be a Democrat? Fuck her, vote her out!

She's nothing more than another DINO like Tulsi Gabbard.

This octogenarian is one of the TWO people in the senate who represent the largest state in the country.

Totally cool and normal response to kids begging for their lives

Listen here little shits do you know who I am?


A lot of political pundits came batting for her on this forum when this clip was making the rounds, praising her pragmatism. This is more of same "pragmatism", but I doubt they'll step up to the plate now.

Feinsteins voting record might be good.... but its stuff like this that really undermines her, given what she wants to do in her current position, she better be reassigned or she will basically kneecap the Senate. Hell her stint probably cost us a seat.

I got a laugh at some #resistance types on social media getting angry at DiFi after they have been supporting Dem leadership blindly since 2016. Good shit.

Her voting record is not good. Not unless you think propping the surveillance state is good.
