I presume this means she'll run and win again in 2024
She has a 100% chance of voting Democrat in 2024.
All glory to the undead rulers over us all!
It's John McCain all over again. Rather than resign and live out the rest of her days in peace, she held on to the office of US Senator until her literal dying breath.
How many times has this happened now? 4 in recent memory? Expect this trend to accelerate as time goes on.
Term limits and campaign finance reform. Of course at this point the only way that'll happen is post-civil war.
Her and Mccain cosponsored "campaign-finance reform". We need something not permitted on this site.
Rest in Piss bozo. You spent your entire life trying to disarm America and when you weren't doing that you were insider trading to make yourself wealthy. Fuck you.
She was also a major backer of that filthy pedophile Harvey Milk, and one of the people most responsible for turning California into a homo circus sideshow.
And she and her family had ties to Trotsky.
A more evil creature has only rarely existed. May she burn in hell.
I hope John McCain is giving her a warm welcome.
Who nose what they have in common?
I got so pissed at conservative saying that she needed to retire because it was "elder abuse." Fuck that. She deserved the abuse.
And this is a massive problem: Career Politicians. Term limits for all.
They used the word female to describe a woman! Those sons of bitches!
I was told this made them misogynist shitlords.
I'm torn on term limits. Do I think it would be an improvement? Yes. Do I also think that if the people want to keep electing the same bozos that have repeatedly screwed them that they should be allowed? Also yes.
Term limits are only one part of a much bigger solution. There are other things that clearly need to be done to reign in federal government tyranny.
At the very least, it’ll force the fucking dinosaurs in office to slow down on creating money laundering schemes using tax payer money and shitting on the constitution.
It’ll either speed boost the end of the US or slow/stop the fuckery.
What a stupid opinion. I have to live amongst these retards. Fuck thier choice. They should have as little influence over my life as possible.
At the very least, they’d have to train up a new crook every few terms.
term limits only change the face, the rotting body is always there.
It is indeed a problem. Unfortunately normies think it's the opposite: Brave, determined, inspiring, even "committed to service"; and normies outnumber us.
Joe Biden can't tie is shoes or speak coherently. It's pathetic how the Deep State just wants / puts warm bodies as pretend-politicians with little reisistance.
Hence why they were so enraged when Trump took office. They didn't have total control over him and that was unacceptable.
I read there are 7 other Silent generation members in one or other of the US houses plus good ol' Joe as president. Following them there must a whole host of Boomers in their declining years.
Good riddance.
And finally the wicked witch is dead.
DING, DONG!
It's a shame Newsom immediately gets to appoint somebody to fill out the rest of her term than have an election for the seat.
That might encourage them to stop running corpses and vegetables in seats for risk of them dying and losing it.
Schiff would be the likely winner in that case, and the big push to keep Feinstein propped up was to give him a shot at running.
Newsom doesn't like Schiff though, and is said to be putting a black woman in.
Pick your poison.
Hopefully Elder runs.
At least Barbara Lee is not a neocon.
Larry Elder has 0 chance, unfortunately.
Very low certainly, however democrat infighting is very high currently. Small chance the snubs will create enough personal conflict to give Elder an opening.
Now just waiting on Hoodie and the Turtle and we'll have a hat trick in the Senate. No member of Congress should be squatting on the seat past their expiration date.
(As an aside, the number in the House of Rep should be increased to curb all the other bullshit. 1 rep per 800k people is pretty shitty)
I would at least tie it to the population count of the least populous state. That way, at least in theory, each rep would represent the same number of people. If we did that, the number of representatives would increase from 435 to 573.
I was thinking just doubling it or more to rapidly cut down on the bribe- excuse me campaign donations and grift, but 100+ is a good start.
Boomers hanging on to their jobs until they die in office instead of retiring at a reasonable age so other people can move up the ladder is a big problem.
My old man's employer kept asking him to delay his retirement because they didn't have enough competent replacements.
Several older relatives retired, only to have their job keep contacting them to do contracts ( with good pay, so two said yes to several contracts, essentially working a nearly full-time job 6+ months a year ).
Several crafts, blue-collar and white-collar jobs didn't form nealy enough apprentices.
The pool of potentially-competent young adults keeps shrinking from White infertility, while the total, service-demanding population, keeps increasing with third-world mass migration and their higher fertility.
Shit will fail more and more often all over the place in critical infrastructure.
The previous ''old boomers won't retire to let their kids have good jobs'' became ''please don't retire, Shanika and Tyrone diversity-hire will crash and burn the whole thing without you doing their job''.
...Then there is also the problem of specialized companies that refuse to do formation and demand several years of experience, while crying they have nobody, so we need to import and provide for 10 000 third-worlders for them to find one to fill one job.
... Then the consequence of keeping people, no matter how dumb, in school untill 22+ with huge debts, then complain nobody want to do low-qualification jobs for low pay. And refuse to raise pay. And again demand we import and provide for 10 000 third-worlders to find the 100 gems among willing and capable to do those low qualification jobs honestly.
So now riddle me this, how much extra service and infrastructure employees we don't have will be required to provide for all those third-worlders..? Mass migration CAUSE job market problems. They CAUSE overflowing hospitals. They CAUSE proverty.
Well a big part of the problem in boomers not retiring is also that it discouraged innovation. It's worse in certain industries, companies, and locations, but between credentialism and experience mattering so much you have many people who are behind industry trends setting policy and criteria. Hence why you have so many middle managers and HR people in their 30s and 40s who cannot use a computer, because the executives also struggle with computers and don't see their value.
Zoomers don't know how to use computers either. Computers add very little efficiency overall, especially as they age. They are also inflexible. Pointless innovation is part of the problem.
That's actually a huge problem in Japan, and has been for years. It's getting worse in the US because of smartphones and fewer younger people growing up with computers. Someone here relayed an anecdote the other day about a new grad not knowing how the shift key on a keyboard works.
It's got nothing to do with Boomers and everything with the fact that humans in general are not keen on relinquishing power.
Your point is correct. She's also a member of the Silent Generation and not a Boomer.
She's literally older than boomers.
Newsom is going to make millions selling her seat.
Millions.
Die you miserable cunt, and stay dead. Fuck you for living out your life in your office.
Brace yourselves, she was only a meatbag seat-warmer for Nancy's daughter.
Normally I don't really go for grave-dancing, but when someone like her (or McCain, or RBG) just refuses to get the fuck out of the way and the only way we're able to get rid of them is through death, well ... I'm not going to feel any shame for savoring it, even if it doesn't ultimately change anything.
Rest in hell, bitch.
should have been MADE to resign years ago.
Congratulations on voting Joe Biden.
