Well, not even Sanders voted against every Drumpf nominee, so this is stupid.
According to them Kirsten Gillibrand is the most pure Democrat in the senate.

Which...LOL!

There are certainly more important criteria for how good a senator is than how many Trump cabinet members they voted for. That said, Feinstein is really bad both on this metric, and other metrics.

Why do people give these people any attention most of the TP primaries weren't even successful.

They had an effect on those that they didn't primary, scaring them to be more like the tea party. There have been a lot more successful TP primaries than progressive primaries in the last several years.

But will anyone step up to challenge her from the left?

A biology professor named Michael Eisen is running. I don't know how progressive he is, but he's got to be to her left.
