MicroWaveDianne Feinstein went to the hospital after a 'minor fall' at home, spokesperson says
IwasondiggYour weekly reminder that there is a minimum age requirement to serve in the senate, but bo maximum, and that needs to change.
GrayI don’t even think this is necessarily an age issue. You can get Alzheimer’s at 50 too. To me the issue is a shameful unwillingness from Democrats to acknowledge Feinstein’s inability to fulfill her duties. Pelosi straight up called people sexist for suggesting Feinstein should step down. It’s despicable. If I was in California, I’d be pretty fucking mad right now that my senator was being used as a tool to advance other people’s interests by preying on her dementia.
samus12345I was mad that we re-elected that mummy in 2020, but her opponent turned out to be pretty crappy, too.
Yeah, bullet dodged on that guy. It’s pretty shitty when the choices are a racist or someone with Alzheimer’s. Especially considering how large California is, I’m pretty sure they could have come up with better options.
Yeah, it’s really fucked up to keep seeing comments from non-Californians blaming us for voting for her, as though we have any kind of real choice.
Regardless, it’s yet another case of Americans blaming other Americans, as usual, instead of blaming a system that allows this shit to happen and doesn’t give us viable choices of candidates in the first place.
