Dianne Feinstein, who served as a senator of California since 1992, died Thursday night at the age of 90. The Onion looks back at 31 years of Feinstein becoming elderly while in office.

    LOL @ people whining about other people living longer, as if they didn’t live in a Democracy and could just choose to vote these people out of office at any time. If people actually objected to Dianne Feinstein being elected, they could have run someone against her for that seat during those 30 years.

      That’s a rather naive take given how big of an influence money has in elections.

        I mean, true. But is the only option to be sitting around hoping that other people die faster, and that this will somehow solve the problem? I feel that it would be easier to vote more or do like an advertising or public awareness drive or something.
