    Neoliberalism doesn’t work that way. The incentives of the system are all about preserving the symbiotic relationship donors and those in government who represent donors.

    But let’s pretend some protege under Feinstein got the donors to support them to replace her. That would instantly sever their relationship with Feinstein and all her senate buds. Senators could and would get new campaign donors if they feel they can’t trust their current donors.

    Donors don’t care about society, they just want more money to buy off more senators and judges so they can get more money and so on.
