      She’s a dem in California. Her whole legacy isn’t going to be erased because she refused to retire.

        She was a slightly left of center moderate dem, and for better or worse modern-day America is highly polarized politically. So she was out-of-step politically with both right and left. Her legacy was already in the dumpster. Going out like this just ensures that this is what she’ll be remembered for.
