Senator Dianne Feinstein’s career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

      We need a complete overhaul of our political party system.

      Both parties decided that seniority = power, and if you’ll always have more next year, it’s never a good time to step aside.

      With a “bonus” that younger generations never get the experience till they’re also old as shit. The parties have no reason to change, because they’re ran by the most senior people.

      Parties have far too much influence considering they’re not officially part of the government. And the current state of shit is why a lot of founding fathers were against them. I think Jefferson or Franklin wanted to explicitly forbade them

      I think the reason why US went with officials can still “serve” even dead is to avoid political killings (or to avoid a loophole in “justice system”, just like mitch mcconnell who is probably acting having a seizure on his live speeches to avoid heavy charges because he knows the fed knows he has a huge role with trump shenanigans annnnnd unfortunately, it is challenging to press charges against persons who has “mental” illness and stroke can be considered as one).
