Senator Dianne Feinstein’s career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

      This is the DNC we’re talking about. They don’t want folk too progressive. They want neoliberal moderates.

        What makes you say that? Biden is the “most progressive president of all time.”

        Case you can’t detect it, that’s sarcasm.

          They dont say that, they say “the most progressive president since FDR”

          Which is true.

          It’s also a damning indictment of America but it is what it is.

      For Cali?

      Yeah…

      But regardless, the best thing for Cali that she’s gone, is they get a fucking choice in who replaces her. The party “picking” someone to hold that seat for the next couple decades and be more Conservative than Cali voters should be an obvious problem.

      But for some reason I doubt anyone will be able to explain that to you in a way you understand…

        Gavin Newsome has gone on record stating he’s going to pick a placeholder to keep the seat warm instead of one of the major contenders for the seat, like Schiff.

        And I don’t see why you’re being a rude asshole. If you want, you can speak like an adult and we can have a decent conversation. But if you insist on being a prick, then I can just start insulting you right back if you prefer.

          Because in all likelihood he’s going to run for it…

          It’s not altruism, it’s selfishness.

          And I’m not even getting into the rest of what he said that made his statement problematic.

          But calling someone rude for being sarcastic and then going on a rant with personal insults…

          Yeah, you said like a neoliberal bud. Which explains why you don’t see any issues with what Newsome is doing

            Dude, you heavily implied I was an idiot. All because I came into this not having assumed the conclusion that Gavin Newsome is some evil, power mad puppet master.

            You fucking people in the Always Online Lefty Left can be just so goddamn insufferable. It’s like you’re absolutely committed to ensuring that no one can reasonably talk to someone who has a mildly divergent opinion. God, imagine being such a tool that you can’t be comfortable in a political coalition with someone as progressive as Newsome. How the fuck do you clowns propose to win an election when you’re running around pretending he and anyone he agrees with is a “neoliberal”

              We get the point, you’re a neoliberal…

              There’s nothing else you can do to make it more obvious, and there’s no way I’m going to read all those insults you keep typing.

                You know what? If you’re this mad at neoliberals, maybe we need more of them. At least they know how to say three words without being a prick.
