She'll always have the legacy that she was too mentally incompetent to know when it's time to retire and let the next generation take over. Worked herself to death and for what exactly
Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don't have to be here to see the fallout.
It's like to know what Ruth Baker Ginsberg did wrong except die early. She was sharp up to her very last day.
Don't paint all old people with the same ignorant brush. Try and grow some empathy while you can still use it.
She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn't dying early. It sure isn't dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.
This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.
I didn't say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you're feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it's showing more about you than about me.
She should have retired between November 2014 and January 2015 after the GOP won the Senate elections but the Dems still had a few more weeks of control.
But they were afraid of the optics. Unlike the GOP, the Dems have a sense of shame.
She had the opportunity to retire and let someone younger take her seat. She didnt.
Clarify how they're wrong if you want to label them ignorant, please.
EDIT: Of course they won't...
Sharp as a rusty spoon, you mean? Staying on knowing that by doing so she was handing her seat to conservatives, ruining her reputation by allowing them to shit on every career accomplishment she had?
Real sharp. Friends like her, who needs enemies?
Yeah no. She's an idiot, fienstien is an idiot too. Most old people are.
If I had known the amount of hate I'd get from "my side" if I "overstayed" my welcome I'd also cling to my post out of "fuck you too"
One party holds on their members until their corpse rots in jail, and the other abandons them the minute it smells of fart...
Politics are fun!
It's almost as if one side plays unfairly to the status quo and has more power, and the other side has to actively fight for and defend progress and doesn't want to take steps backward.
So you would abandon your morals if asked to give up power to prevent that power being used against your accomplishments?
Sounds like you get along swimmingly with rgb. Power over progress was her motto too.
