These threads

That go on about Hillary, Bernie, Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon.... Please STOP. None of that matters anymore. It is in the past. We are in crisis right NOW. Did anyone see Michael Moore on Bill Maher this past week? If not...please watch it now. He was genuinely scared. Fear came out of every pore of his being. He said it like it is.
This supreme court pick is going to effect our history for a LONG time. Action is what is important right now...not what did or did not take place. Call your senators and representatives...be relentless. Just like you did with the ACA. Use your voice as if your life depended on it. Because it does.

And, you're always calling people "trolls". Why do you always have to personally insult?

Because you feel you can't make your case without it?

of my point.. the posters know it but still say "it's true". No way they could miss our posts around here. It's ridiculous.

Oh and we "..don't like Michael Moore".. lol

Just look at the response (lack of)? Way too much bickering in the dugout when the focus should be getting out on the field and winning the fucking game! Democrats have lost their backbone and voice. Get on phones...pound them. Knock on doors....get the people out to vote!

You're confusing proof with anecdotal evidence based on a sampling too small to be valid.

You appear to believe that re-visiting concerns is counter-productive, but offer zero evidence to support that hypothesis. On it's face, that is a leading indicator of fluff rather than substance.

But it does beg the question: What precisely should we be focusing on, and what we should ignore... and please provide for us the the objective list your posts imply you have come into possession of which codify these topics.

I get it... anything anyone says is "proof" to you, and will validate your narrative regardless of whether it does or does not. People discuss A. It's proof to you. People do not discuss B, it's proof to you. It's easy and fun to live inside the Fallacy of the Excluded Middle.

Who cares anymore...We have an election coming up in November. THAT is where we should be focusing all our attention. The amount of people who do NOT vote is staggering. All I am saying is we all need to focus on that one single issue. Get out to vote.

it go a long way in reducing the negative posts.

Meanwhile, Sarandon's fair game. Her role in Trump's 2016 success is not so easily forgiven.

They're never going to apologize.. that would mess up their plans to do it again in 2020.

about the number of negative posts made on a website she probably has never even visited.

Hell it probably from a publicity standpoint, it probably increases her exposure slightly.

Sarandon's been on "probation" since her 2000 Nader fiasco. Her disrespectful lecturing of civil rights icon, Dolores Huerta, several years ago, was no help to her image. Finally, Sarandon's dimwitted comments about HRC during the 2016 General election period, can only be viewed as helpful to Trump's victory.

Still, Susan has remained unapologetic throughout her history of involvement in political catastrophes.

Looking back over the past two decades, Sarandon's only political achievement has been her ability to avoid being labeled a full fledged pariah.
