May she rest in peace and vacate her seat.
I hope they didn’t leave her in her seat.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

“Why can’t we all just live forever so she’d never lose the seat?” That’s not reality, and if your argument for pulling a Weekend At Bernie’s is that everything is fucked if even one 90 year old person dies, then my brother in christ we’ve got bigger problems than losing 1 senate committee seat.

Who exactly do you think the “you people” you’re talking to right now is?
We need proper governance in the US Senate, not geriatric puppets for either Democrats or Republicans (like you-know-which-lich)
She will still be running for reelection, though.
If on the ballot she would win, too.
One of the biggest barriers to a functioning democracy is inertia (name recognition), which is why we need term limits so badly. Ask any democrat, for example, and they’ll tell you they want younger, more diverse candidates. But when asked to check a box in the spring of 2020 for president, the majority (plurality?) bypassed the female candidates, candidates of color, and the non-CIS candidate(s) to choose an old white man as their champion - and not even the liberal old white man at that. We need these old-ass MFers out of the way, for our own damned good.
It is sad that she is dead, but she should have retired a while ago.
Yeah like shes had physical and mental issues for a long time now, you’d think retiring to focus on her health would be a thing.

She should have retired over a decade ago. She’s responsible for her part of all this mess because she kept a seat that could have gone to someone younger for over a decade longer than she should have.
That is if she was in the committee. What would happen if she was no longer a senator? Is the Senate going to keep an unbalanced committee?
May her memory be a blessing.
Can we get term limits now?

Senator Dianne Feinstein, the trailblazing Democratic power broker who served in the Senate for 30 years, died on Thursday night, according to a family member.
In recent years, Ms. Feinstein, 90, had suffered from frail health and memory issues that made it difficult for her to function alone and prompted calls for her to step down, which she consistently rejected.
Her staff was being informed at 9 a.m.
A spokesman for Ms. Feinstein’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This is a developing story.
Please check back for updates.

Old people dying reminds me of other old people that died too.
Exactly!
If they have similarities, then our brains connect the dots, hahahaha
The major difference is, I think California will replace Dianne with someone similar … not Amy Coney Barrett.

No one saw this coming. Just like a repeat of RBG.
