In fact, that’s the job. Ideological purists don’t tend to accomplish much, though of course their existence does have the important effect of moving the Overton window and of resisting the purists on the other side. I agree that compromising with Trumpian policies is suspect, but in fact Feinstein hasn’t done much of that, and claiming that her recent votes are caused by fear of losing the election is a little post hoc ergo proter hoc, not to mention that she has very little to fear, she will almost surely win the general by a solid margin.
The agism on this thread really bugs me. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is only 2 months younger than Feinstein, do you think she’s too old to do the job?
