You would think in a showdown between a crusty old congressional lifers and adorable passionate kids, the kids would win at least on a perception level.

But what I saw was all passion and idealism, some petulance, and an unwillingness to listen and deal in practical reality.

I think Feinstein was empathetic and polite but did not coddle and was firm on where she stood. She was honest with the kids and what they really wanted to hear was comforting lies.

I know the effect the kids wanted to have, but it didn't come off like they planned. They wanted it to be one way, but it was the other.

This video is very symbolic of my problems with the far left. All dreams and passion, and not a lot of practical problem-solving.


Or am I just old and cynical and yall with the kids?
