She’ll always have the legacy that she was too mentally incompetent to know when it’s time to retire and let the next generation take over. Worked herself to death and for what exactly
Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don’t have to be here to see the fallout.
It’s like to know what Ruth Baker Ginsberg did wrong except die early. She was sharp up to her very last day.
Don’t paint all old people with the same ignorant brush. Try and grow some empathy while you can still use it.
She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn’t dying early. It sure isn’t dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.
This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.
I didn’t say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you’re feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it’s showing more about you than about me.
She should have retired between November 2014 and January 2015 after the GOP won the Senate elections but the Dems still had a few more weeks of control.
But they were afraid of the optics. Unlike the GOP, the Dems have a sense of shame.

You sure? I just pulled it from Wikipedia. They could be wrong and I make no secret of the fact that I’m wrong pretty often.

We were discussing RBG and the guy’s claim that she “died too early”, not Feinstein.
Nope, 87.

Yes, but OP was referring to RBG, not Feinstein.
She had the opportunity to retire and let someone younger take her seat. She didnt.
Sharp as a rusty spoon, you mean? Staying on knowing that by doing so she was handing her seat to conservatives, ruining her reputation by allowing them to shit on every career accomplishment she had?
Real sharp. Friends like her, who needs enemies?
Yeah no. She’s an idiot, fienstien is an idiot too. Most old people are.
Clarify how they’re wrong if you want to label them ignorant, please.
EDIT: Of course they won’t…
If I had known the amount of hate I’d get from “my side” if I “overstayed” my welcome I’d also cling to my post out of “fuck you too”
One party holds on their members until their corpse rots in jail, and the other abandons them the minute it smells of fart…
Politics are fun!
It’s almost as if one side plays unfairly to the status quo and has more power, and the other side has to actively fight for and defend progress and doesn’t want to take steps backward.
So you would abandon your morals if asked to give up power to prevent that power being used against your accomplishments?
Sounds like you get along swimmingly with rgb. Power over progress was her motto too.
nah she was a racist cunt who ruined san francisco i hope she burns in hell
Where are you getting the racist part from? Hopefully it’s not from her issue behind removing the confederate flag from a flag display, because that had nothing to do with actually supporting that flag.
If that kind of working class solidarity is “trashy” then you can call me the trash man. fuck feinstein fuck Mitch McConnell fuck any politician who holds on to power selfishly at the expense of the rest of us.

While she was a horrible ending, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was even worse. Rbgs lifetime of work was eviscerated because she was too selfish to step aside when her time was due.
These people are the epitome of ‘you can die a hero or live long enough to become a villain’.
Yeah, at least Feinstein was always guaranteed a Democrat replacement. RBG stayed even after it was known it would be a guaranteed conservative replacement.
Remember when Merritt Garland was supposed to be a Supreme Court justice?
Even if RBG retired under Obama, McConnell would have done the same shit with her replacement.
Now she didn’t know that, but it doesn’t mean we would have a better court if she had retired sooner.
She could have done it when she was diagnosed with cancer 9 years previously and the Democrats controlled both houses with a supermajority in the Senate and a decade past the standard US retirement age.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Yes, that’s what many people said at the time.
The argument with garland was “it was an election year”. They tried to make rbg retire well before that so at least that argument would have been different.
He’s right though. Fuck these assholes and their lust for power.
Fuck all those old sacks of ass.
He is right.
Dude is on point.
It was a relief when nature forced her to retire. And she was my senator.
Imagine being a stan for Feinstein or any of the other politicians that have spent their lives sitting on their hands and making hollow remarks for massive paychecks.
I never support protesting funerals, so I’m not exactly a fan of this guy, but he’s not wrong.
You know what’s trashy? Arguing with children about climate change.
When did she die?
Like 6 years ago, but she served in the Senate until September 29th.
A couple weeks ago. Shes the American Margaret Thatcher, the lite beer version.
Not that I am a big fan of Feinstein but saying she’s the American version of Thatcher is just straight up incorrect. Both of them had different policies.
A more apt comparison would be Stephen Milligan. Though again, their politics don’t align, he also stayed in office till death.
Lmao she’s definitely not Maggie.
Also I dunno, don’t fly a Confederate flag in a proud union state and then try to prosecute the hero who repeatedly climbed the flag pole, tore it off and burned it.
