Dianne Feinstein claimed she hasn't 'been gone' when asked about her lengthy absence from the Senate: 'No, I've been here. I've been voting'

[dora_da_destroyer]

There was a viable alternative and folks chose her instead.

I’m not sure how name recognition discredits the idea that folks voted for her knowing she was old as fukk.

because there are more old AF voters out voting...you act like the same people complaining about her needing to go are the same ones who voted for her. you can't outmath old people voting, at least we haven't to date

Maybe she meant she was there and voting in spirit

Watching the gymnastics around this issue is something to behold.

Weird watching folks to try to run Dianne out of town while simultaneously protecting all their personal favorite old farts.

Posters were literally apoplectic over me saying Biden is next as if Father Time isn’t undefeated.

And this is why there can’t be age limits. Voters don’t want to be accountable for their choices.

incumbents always have an advantage

i think anyone who has been diagnosed with dementia (or any degenerative mental disease) should have to resign immediately, but these old power addicted fukks in congress would never pass that law.

Looking at the data this doesn’t seem to be the case. It’s just more in line with what we’ve been seeing and that’s young voters choosing not to show up.

Yea, like I said. Voters don’t care enough. If they did I wouldn’t be hearing every stereotypical excuse.

People just playing favorites, breh.

Like cats talking about we need all this reform, but the average voter has proven they aren’t going to show up to vote in the types of people who would implement said reforms.

She's gonna be in that Admiral Archer wheelchair to vote. Blink once for Yay, blink twice for Nay.

the average voter being dumb shouldn't be an excuse for the current situation of senate dems not pressuring them to free up the seat to someone who isn't functionally dead tho.

1.) don’t elect people on the brink of death
2.) if voters do then remove them from office when they’re deteriorating
3.) don’t run when you’re old as fukk


2 can’t happen without republicans unfortunately and while I think stepping down is the right thing for her to do, I’m not about to blame other folks for not being able to persuade a person suffering from dementia about what’s really going on and what they should do.

Instead I’ll just blame the able mind and bodied folks for making stupid decisions

it should have been disclosed she had dementia when she was running in 2018 then. i'm pretty sure she did before the 2018 run according to my sources.

She should

Even Schumer asked her to resign in 2020 and asked her husband to tell her the same.

He should have said something when she wanted to run in 2018 though

Newsom has already said he would put a black woman in her seat, many people think that would be Barbara Lee.

the theory people have is Pelosi wants Schiff to get the seat and they don't want to give Barbara Lee an incumbent advantage in an election, so they're holding onto the seat til the term ends. coincidentally Pelosi's daughter is a high ranking member of Feinstein's staff too.

those old greedy power hungry bytches really fukking the state over

It blows my mind that there people who still don't realize Pelosi is a terrible person who just happens to have found her path to power through Democratic politics.

Remember this?

Pelosi Suggests Calls for Feinstein to Resign Are Sexist

“I’ve never seen them go after a man who was sick in the Senate in that way.”

With that level of disingenuous bullshyt to try to poison the well against criticism rather than actually engage them, you'd almost imagine she posts here.

For me, the only question that needs to be asked is, how many other members are in the same state.

While I understand where you’re coming from, I think the fact that she’s hinting at it being bigger issue deserves just as much scrutiny.
