She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn’t dying early. It sure isn’t dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.
This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.
I didn’t say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you’re feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it’s showing more about you than about me.
She should have retired between November 2014 and January 2015 after the GOP won the Senate elections but the Dems still had a few more weeks of control.
But they were afraid of the optics. Unlike the GOP, the Dems have a sense of shame.
What are you talking about? We’re trying to discuss Dianne Feinstein here and you chime in with these random thoughts about sub-tropics. It’s very distracting.
Sharp as a rusty spoon, you mean? Staying on knowing that by doing so she was handing her seat to conservatives, ruining her reputation by allowing them to shit on every career accomplishment she had?
It’s like to know what Ruth Baker Ginsberg did wrong except die early. She was sharp up to her very last day.
Don’t paint all old people with the same ignorant brush. Try and grow some empathy while you can still use it.

You sure? I just pulled it from Wikipedia. They could be wrong and I make no secret of the fact that I’m wrong pretty often.

We were discussing RBG and the guy’s claim that she “died too early”, not Feinstein.

It’s almost as if conversations morph into sub-topics, or something.
Someone should really do something about that, like put indentations on reply comments or something.

Are you not able to follow a conversation?

Nope, 87.

Yes, but OP was referring to RBG, not Feinstein.
She had the opportunity to retire and let someone younger take her seat. She didnt.
Clarify how they’re wrong if you want to label them ignorant, please.
EDIT: Of course they won’t…
Yeah no. She’s an idiot, fienstien is an idiot too. Most old people are.

Real sharp. Friends like her, who needs enemies?
