      Having watched the full Feinstein video: it's absolutely valid to object to her on substantive grounds, but she actually engaged those kids like adults she had a serious political disagreement with, rather than condescending and head-patting them. Which is, in a way, respectful

      There was nothing I hated more as a kid than being condescended to by adults. Lord knows I'm no Feinstein fan, but rhetorically/stylistically I don't have a problem with how she approached that. Substantively, it's a different question.

          Sorry Mike. No. Everything about her is condescension. She is one of those politicians that acts like elections are something she shouldn't even have to tolerate from the likes of us. She needs to go. Her hypocrisy and arrogance is boundless, and it shows in this video.

          I thought she was hostile, defensive and scolding. Not to mention evasive. She wouldn't acknowledge that this needs to be done in 12 years. Telling a teenager to run for office is unhelpful. It will be too LATE by the time she's of age. Some Old people like Feinstein don't care.

          She wasn’t respectful or hearing them at all. She was saying she worked to get there on her merit, they aren’t old enough to be considered, aren’t voters, complete self-preservation of power. In the future, kid.

          The part of Feinstein's approach I didn't like was the "I've won elections by this many votes and you haven't" part. Her style was adulting gold.

          Feinstein is terrible but she handled those kids(who were very obviously coached) pretty well.

          Good point. But, I’d still have a problem if she talked to an adult that way. It wasn’t just handling them as adults, but more like looking down on them. And boy, is that “substance” disgusting...

          It doesn’t matter how you approach it. Arguing with a child always looks bad because of the inherent power imbalance. You inevitably look like the mean adult beating up innocent kids.
