Dianne Feinstein Dies

I bet he'd LOVE to be a PTO president.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
Newsom is really in a lose-lose situation here. My guess is he picks the CA. Secretary of State, a black woman named Weber to serve.Matt wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 1:11 pmLee is already in Congress.Round Six wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 11:30 amDo you think appointing Schiff to Feinstien's seat, and then appointing Lee to Schiff's seat, would placate everyone?Honeyman wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 10:25 amNewsom has a big decision.

Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
Do you think Newsom should consider Pelosi still influential enough to kowtow to? Or because she's exiting stage left, can he say:
"I appreciate your opinion but ... ".

Appointing a house member to another house seat wouldn’t work. Pelosi is running again too so that’s out. Lee has little chance in a general against Schiff too…
Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
So how exactly is appointing somebody on the basis of sex and skin color not sexist and racist?
Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
Why did I think Pelosi has chosen not to seek reelection? Sorry about that. Negate anything I was asking.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.
Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
Your point is somewhat valid. Newsom should not have made the statement in the first place.
However, black women make up something like 13-14% of the. US population. There currently is not a black woman in the senate. Isn't that sexist and racist?

Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
13.6% of the population is black. That makes about 7% of it black women. So Newsom has just disqualified 93% of the population on the basis of skin color or sex. That's indefensible any way you look at it.
As to the fact that there aren't any black women in the Senate, considering that the vast majority of black people are Democrats, I'd say that's largely the fault of Democrat voters. What Newsom (and Biden with his SCOTUS pick) are doing is basically affirmative action. You can't fix racial disparities with reverse racism.

Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
I disagree. The US political system is a complete clusterfuck. It's a good ol' boys club, and as a result, we're gonna be stuck with Biden or Trump for 4 more years, unless Biden dies or Trump ends the world in their term. Maybe things would be better if government was more representative.bmw wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 3:02 pm

Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
That's the entire USA, no? To be a senator, you must reside in the state you represent. In California, blacks (non-mixed race) make up 6.5%. Mixed race (total) is 4.3%. So you could say it's approximately 7.5%. Black women would make up ~3.75%...bmw wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 3:02 pm13.6% of the population is black. That makes about 7% of it black women.

Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
Wonder if this was because the last time someone promised to pick a Black female for political office it turned out so spectacularly?
But I am heartened to see that there are a few liberals out there that still know what a woman is.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Re: Dianne Feinstein Dies
Gavin has said he will not appoint someone running for the seat in 2024. Does not want gave a leg up to anyone.
