RapidcreekDianne Feinstein dies at 90
Imagine if she had mentored and sponsored a younger replacement in 2000 and then retired in 2010. Where would we be?
Now that Skeletor has died with no one obvious to replace her, the Judiciary Committee will probably grind to a halt when it comes to confirming judges.
You really believe that in the last two decades, she had not mentioned or influenced a new generation of politicians and that none of her colleagues anticipated a scenario in which she dies or retires without a plan?
Considering she was 90 and didn’t retire before she literally died that does seem to be the case. She even had a health scare and leave from the Senate earlier in the year but she was still there.
Neoliberalism doesn’t work that way. The incentives of the system are all about preserving the symbiotic relationship donors and those in government who represent donors.
But let’s pretend some protege under Feinstein got the donors to support them to replace her. That would instantly sever their relationship with Feinstein and all her senate buds. Senators could and would get new campaign donors if they feel they can’t trust their current donors.
Donors don’t care about society, they just want more money to buy off more senators and judges so they can get more money and so on.
She only inspired the younger generation by pissing them off to their faces.
