Diane Feinstein is old and needs to retire. She is completely out of touch with the needs of her constituency, and comes off more like an old guard republican rather then a democrat that she is supposed to be.
This is true of most Democrats these days, except when they want to pander to minorities or other disadvantaged groups who could use real, actual allies instead of the panderers. I am amazed and humbled by these folks' perseverance in the face of a two party system in which one party apparently hates them and the other thinks so little of them that their best efforts at being allies generally consists of terrible pandering.
You want to see the typical Democratic interaction with minorities on a political level? Look at Flint, during the Primaries and general election, and compare it to now.
There's a post-partisan, grassroots PAC to do exactly that:
Feinstein is just old and out of touch. She still thinks that Hollywood is an economic driving force in California.
Kumala Harris is our replacement for Boxer. Hopefully we can get someone a little more liberal to replace Feinstein.
They pointed out that CA voters can remove her. True.
They pointed out she's still there, so the plausible majority of the people that cast votes must have wanted to elect her vs the opposition choice (as of the last election). True.
Really I'd like for this not to be the case, but at the moment it seems like that isn't likely to happen anytime before I'm dead.
Uhh, I think I'm blanking on the other. Both will likely lose, but maybe it will make her look over shoulder and keep closer to her constituents.

Feinstein is now 83. I don't think she has announced either way, but it is likely she'll retire. If so, then there will probably be a lot of candidates.
