“You know what’s interesting about this group is that I’ve been doing this for thirty years. I know what I’m doing. You come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that.” - Dianne Feinstein

    Yes and she died at 90, a sitting Senator.

    We have ourselves to blame though. Literally. People kept voting for her.

        “It’s us or the horror of Trump!”

        You’ve articulated the Democratic elite party line perfectly. Chef’s kiss. They have you by the brain stem.

        As if there have been no other promising Democrats in California primaries for 30 years… SMH

            You’re right the party apparatus becomes a barrier. They wayyy overplayed their hand with her. I’m sure that election after election they told themselves “it’s more important to win this time than pave the way for the future.”

            And I’m sure that election after election she told herself “I’ll keep serving as long as the voters tell me to,” probably willfully oblivious to the fact that the fix was in on her behalf.
