Feinstein supported this, too. I wrote her a letter; her response was along the lines of "I don't care, and in any event it's good for you."
Haven't voted for her since.
With recent events, even though I don't live in CA any more, I plan to give her opponents money, for any election she's a candidate in.
- sageikosa 14y agoShe doesn't need your vote.
- kabdib 14y agoBut her oppponents do. And her opponents could use some cash, too.
- sageikosa 14y agoHaving received 7.75 million votes in 2012, she can probably afford to burn a few, rather than spend time trying to turn a single voter's opinion. She won by about 3 million votes over her opponent. I am not stating that the fight isn't a good one, only that her haughty and dismissive attitude is calculable from her election margin of victory.
- jacoblyles 14y agoThe alternative to Feinstein last election was a Republican that merely hadn't said anything on internet freedom issues - as opposed to Feinstein who in on the record as actively bad. My friends who were aware of how bad Feinstein is couldn't bring themselves to vote for someone who might be no better and who was a social conservative to boot. I hope they at least left that section of their ballots blank. The internet freedom lobby is comically inept. Voters don't even have the choice to do the right thing if they wanted to.
- mtgx 14y agoI hope she loses in the next election. She was the one that pretty forcefully pushed the FISA reauthorization with as little debate as possible through Senate. It made me angry just hearing her talk about how the Senate shouldn't waste any time with the amendments and just quickly pass FISA before the year is over.
- jacoblyles 14y agoFeinstein won't lose because this is a solid Democratic state. Unless there is an organized primary campaign against her, elections are an auto-win for the Feinstein campaign.
- philwelch 14y agoIf only there was some kind of civil libertarian Democratic tea party movement.
- protomyth 14y agoGiven that the Democrats now control the state with a supermajority, and California's fiscals aren't looking like they will improve; you might see some sort of rebellion in the party. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
