the fact she was still active in politics at age 90 doesn't sit well with me; even less that she's not exactly a unique case. That smells strongly of "late Soviet Union" levels of political constipation.
Capitalism is when communism
The Soviet Union is often, even justifiably, accused of gerontocracy, but it's got fucking nothing on the US.
Sure the average age of the politburo was old in the 70s and 80s, but every single one of those guys died younger than Biden is now. The average age of a senator is almost 70, Strom Thurnond retired at 100 years old
maybe they mean our society is about to collapse and slide to the right 
She just died? Wow. 
She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman.
Pour one out for the staffers. This was almost certainly the pinnacle of their elder abuse careers
Well, now they have something for the portfolio. They'll move onto another old mummy because of their success rate with her. They had her voting on something fucking YESTERDAY. She voted, went home and fucking DIED of old age!
In North Korea the party has to make old people work for them until they drop dead and everyone just watches and has to act like it is normal
Lost in the recent history of her public submission to elder abuse, let's not forget that she was a true lioness of the senate.
Wait, sorry, I'm now being informed that she was the architect of the dismantling of the USPS (the largest landowner in the US), where her husband's private equity firm got sweetheart deals on all the real estate the USPS had to sell off to stay 'profitable'.
Democracy dies in darkness but shady shit lingers on until they die at their desk
Her last tweets were advocating against Azerbaijan. Very suspect that a perfectly healthy 90 year old would just drop dead like that. Occam's Razor tells us that Erdogan personally ordered the hit, intends to reinstate the ottoman empire with the bay area as its new Constantinople. Be vigilant for Jannisaries and Corsairs around California in the coming months.
I can't wait for the liberals to realize this means they get no more federal judiciary appointments until the next term and proceed to do nothing about it and continue to tell me they have a functioning democracy.
Half of the libs in the 
thread are decrying that while the other half are whitewashing her legacy. There are a small handful who are very carefully, so as to not upset mods, clowning on her.
She just died? Wow. I didn’t know that. You’re telling me now for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman. Whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. I’m actually saddened to hear that. I am saddened to hear that. Thank you very much.
So is she gonna have her coffin draped with the US flag or the Confederate?
She's insider trading in Heaven now folks
She's raising the stars and bars on top of God's palace now, boys
Approving of all the jokes, but also remember, she was, much like the emperor in 40k, a rotting hub of an entire power network that the Democrats failed to transit away to a successor. This is a disaster for them as decades of institutional knowledge, power, and connections is wiped out and they scramble to fight amongst the scraps for their own patronage networks.
We're going to see this happen a lot, as neither the GOP nor the Dems have stable power transitions, elder retired statesmen, a formal ladder of heirachy, or even just a personal apprenticeship system. Every Gerontocrat that dies hollows the US state out in a way that decades of UK politicians actively trying could only dream of.
I love how the libs were crying for months that they can't replace her and have to wait for the next election, even if she is missing a ton of votes. Now she just died anyway.
Its like RGB all over again. Can't wait till the next time the libs talk about some barely alive ghoul hanging onto their position of power for way too long. They'll never learn.
they'll still wheel in her corpse for the next vote, they're gonna use AI voice generation to get her ayes 
I wonder if she'll finally step down now.
What I don't understand is why ghouls like this don't just retire and enjoy their twilight years for a while. She was being paraded around on a wheelchair in front of camera after her stroke as her handlers were weakly trying to convince everyone that she is still fit to do anything that requires intermediate cognitive capacity. Now she has died while still being in office like a chump.
Edit: Forgot to mention that she is worth tens of millions of dollars.
Critical support to the clumsy aide who accidentally knocked her phylactery off her desk.
Congratulations to the democrats for making sure they can never effectively criticize a republican for being too old ever.
Oh, you think McConnell should retire because he's clearly a barely conscious husk of a person, tell me again why Feinstein retired.
Obviously the chuds were gonna say it anyway but really cheers to democrats for really showing those moderate undecided voters you're so obsessed with that you really are the same as republicans.
That was already the case with Biden being president imo. It's just like how they had to drop the #MeToo stuff because Biden is a hair sniffing creep who kisses his grown granddaughter on the lips
It's really funny that Biden killed the metoo movement overnight.
Once again the only difference when a dem is president is libs tell minorities and women to stop complaining because now that they're in charge it makes them look bad.
Many of my Lib friends haven't seen the news yet, someone give me a primer on all the dumb shit she pulled so I can ruin the inevitable hero worship 
The senator from san fran thats older than the golden gate bridge lol
My favorite moment of her career was when she died.
hahaha get fucked you evil piece of shit
Death to America
Cut down in the prime of her youth 😢
"Celebrating the death of a senator? What about civility? This is how Trump wins #resistance " 
Now she's going to haunt young climate activists.
