  K-K-K-Katie !!!
context: DO IT!!! Katie Porter would be an amazing Senator. >
  
  My main concern is no one else can win Orange County for the dems. >
  
  I got redistricted away from her and now I have a Republican rep, so I definitely don't have any representation. Katie Porter actually listened to complaints and raised issues from them. Republicans are beholden only to their donors. >
  
  That is a great compliment to her & I’m not surprised!  One can tell how conscientious and hard working she is! >
  
  I like Katie, but this is nothing that is being offered to her she and other CA reps are out raising money, lining up donors, and judging interest in her candidacy. 
  Adam Schiff and others are doing the same thing
  I really hate this about our system soon wellhave Reps and Senators who should be doing.their job but their job just became planntheir campaign. >
  
  I will vote for any D not named Feinstein. When she hugged it out with Lindsey after the Kavanaugh debacle that was it. >
  
  She’s been horrible since the 90s. >
  
  Way before that. She flew a confederate flag over SF city hall in 1984. Then once it was taken down by the public, she had it flown again. >
  
  Need proof. Looking it up myself, I find no such v credible story. >
  
  A little context:
  
  Full disclosure, it was one of 18 flags in front of City Hall used to symbolize the different stages of American history. After Bradley took the flag down, then Mayor Dianne Feinstein ordered the Confederate flag be flown again. She eventually changed her mind.
  
  You make it sound like it was the only flag flying and it was her idea. >
  
  "ordered the Confederate flag be flown again" sure sounds like her taking initiative, and the context doesn't really make it less of a horrible idea. >
  
  Gtfo Feinstein, I would vote Porter instantaneously in a primary. >
  
  Feinstein should’ve been voted out after her Iraq war vote.  I’m disgusted she’s been re-elected so many times when there’s 1000 better progressives in CA.  Shameful. >
  
  Name recognition goes a long way. >
  
  We need term limits >
  
  Term limits maybe, age limits absolutely >
  
  Age limits, absolutely not.  Like I've mentioned every time this gets brought up, the majority of the elderly politicians serving right now are more mentally sharp and more wise than the people on this subreddit, myself included.  
  These are, for the most part, talented experienced people and putting a limit on something because the public thinks that mental decline hits everyone at the same time in the same way is foolish. >
  
  Lol no way, Feinstein is about as mentally sharp as a rubber mallet at this point. They have no real stake in the continued betterment of the world. Voting on things with global consequences when they've got maybe 5 years left to live? Don't these people have (great) grandchildren to spend time with? Don't they want to retire? Christ I'm not even 40 and I want to retire. We should not continue to abet these greed mongers that cling to power like old necromancers slowly turning to dust. >
  
  I wasn't speaking specifically about Feinstein.
  And as far as retirement goes, is it hard to believe that some lifelong civil servants enjoy what they do and are passionate about it? >
  
  Please, yes. She's one of my favorite politicians: smart, lots of integrity, and a pleasure to see asking questions in hearings. 
  And she has the sense to retire before she's a drooling husk of a person. >
  
  Absolutely!  What a breath of fresh air she would be >
  
  Only if her white board comes with. >
  
  This message approved by WHITE BOARD PAC which ironically Katie would probably oppose >
  
  Not if said PAC donated tons of whiteboards to schools in need! >
  
  This would be ideal. I hope she is my president someday. >
  
  porter for president
