The statements provocative in Democratic circles and near-heretical in her hometown of San Francisco, where she made them reflected a moderation and pragmatism that have been hallmarks of Feinsteins career. But these qualities, after proving politically advantageous for decades, could become an albatross because of the states shifting demographics and political leanings as the 84-year-old decides whether to seek a sixth term.
...
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De León lashed out at Feinsteins remarks hours after she made them Tuesday at the Commonwealth Club, saying that women, children, people of color, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ community had little time for patience in the face of the presidents policies.
On Thursday, he reiterated his disappointment in the states senior senator.
It wasnt the proper tone or tenor, especially given the current state of politics at the national level, De León, who is termed out and rumored to be considering a Senate run, said in an interview with The Times. We dont owe Trump patience. We owe Californians resistance.
De Leóns words were a remarkable rebuke from a top California Democrat of one of the states most powerful and venerated leaders. They were also a reflection of how the political landscape in California in 2017 in the aftermath of the election of Trump and amid simmering rage from the Democratic partys most liberal activists is dramatically different from the era when Feinstein gained political prominence.

Thank you in advance
In any case thank you for kicking this thread. It can use a little help.

You have started multiple threads all seemingly aimed at spreading the false notion that Dianne Feinstein said "nice things" about Donald Trump. Do you expect untruths about a leading and highly-respected Democratic will go uncountered on a forum ostensibly aimed at supporting Democrats?

Well done!

Isn't promoting Greens a TOS violation? I won't alert. But sheez!

This is ridiculous at this point. He's not even a politician and hasn't been in a while. Jello is also very Anti-Trump, unlike a few Greens and even some Democrats willing to give Orange Lincoln Rockwell the benefit of the doubt.

(905 posts)these people are. My hunch...but I won't say it here. It's fine to disagree with our Democrats but it doesn't have to be in a way that plays right into the hands of the opposition. That's why the GOP has over the Dems. We just don't seem to get that.
