Well, maybe because you didn't know her, you never met her, and she had little to no impact on your life.

Deep with the first dead lies London's daughter,

Robed in the long friends,

The grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother,

Secret by the unmourning water

Of the riding Thames.

After the first death, there is no other.

Was there any US or Israeli war she didnt fully support? Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, just on the US side, nevermind the continual wars against its neighbors and its indigenous population Israel has waged. She made the MIC a lot richer, while she profited extensively from her political power. The US and the world is a lot worse place as a result of her political career. How many Ukrainian teens did she help kill just this week alone?

With all this carnage, she never showed any remorse. Quite the opposite. So she had a lot of impact on a lot of peoples lives, and on ending a lot of peoples lives.

She was anti Iraq and Afghanistan for a while, but not very long.

No she wasnt. Definitely wasnt anti Iraq war. Once she got what she wanted and Israel's enemy Saddam was gone and Iraq was in chaos, the WMD lie was revealed and a backlash developed, she later tried to pretend she was against the war, but she fully supported the invasion and occupation and voted for it.

I remember vividly being dragged to a rally for her where she shat on Bush and his unjustified war, calling him a war monger. That was pretty much the only thing she said. I remember Pelosi and Boxer being there too.

I'm not 100% sure whether it was Iraq or Afghanistan, but I think it was Iraq because I seem to remember someone asking the question what Iraq had to do with 9/11 at the rally, I wanna say that was Barbara Boxer, but again I was a teenager and not exactly thrilled to be there even though this was at a point where I was the most left wing I have been in my life.

All I'm saying is at least publicly she was anti-war at one point when it served her interests. Her voting record might contradict this though. She's always been a hypocrite.

Barbara Boxer legitimately opposed the war from day 1. Amazingly, even Pelosi voted against the invasion as well.

Feinstein voted for it.
