What's the appeal of voting for Dianne Feinstein?
Because most California democrats don't know better and would vote for a massive DINO over an "unknown" progressive candidate.
Feinstein is very far-left and one of the more progressive senate democrats. Can't imagine why you think she's a moderate "DINO."

If Feinstein is "far left" I'd love to know what you think people like Jayapal or Merkley are...

Heck even Sherrod Brown is more left wing than Feinstein.  
She wants a blanket gun ban and wants all civilian-owned guns confiscated; I call that pretty far-left. It's really sad that anyone in the modern Democratic Party who isn't a self-professed Marxist is considered a "centrist" or "DINO." This party has really become unhinged since 2016.
I'm afraid that the damage Bernie Sanders inflicted by normalizing Marxism and bringing it into the mainstream is irreversible.

If Bernie Sanders is a marxist, every other developed country in the world is also marxist.

Hint: You can disagree with Bernie Sanders without using hyperbole.

Bernie Sanders is not a Marxist. Also, Marx was pro-gun.
This is False.
Socialism = Marxism.
Coerced redistribution of wealth = Marxism.

By that definition, every major country on Earth to some extent or another is a marxist one.

Feinstein doesn't tow the far-left line. That's perfectly reasonable even if they sometimes came be poor decisions that can merit fair criticism such as her Iraq War vote.


When her California colleague is one of the most liberal senators in the country and gets attacked by the left for being too centrist you realize they have a structurally problem.  They don't gasp that politics is serious business, that you aren't going to get your way just as a child will be denied at points to not do something because his parents said so. Why does one negative contradict all of the good someone like Feinstein has done for Cali and America?

So since politics is a serious business, senators shouldn't be held accountable for basically being useless when considered she's in an uber safe seat? You win some races and you lose some but that's not a good reason for activists to not try to get the most left wing senate possible. Give valid reasons for a Democrat like myself to vote./support for Feinstein over KDL to back up your claim that she's done a lot of good. Voting somewhat left wing in a polarizing right wing congress does not count.

KDL endorses Abolish ICE:


Feinstein just won the GOP vote.

Very few people in the state know what ICE is. It’s not like Feinstein is going to go around slamming KDL for this and claiming he’s for open borders like a GOPer would in a GE.
