This is what happens when 60 mil people who believe anything beyond a 3rd grade education is elitist

... vote for a failed frozen steak salesman turned reality TV game show host just to stick it to those who made it past the 3rd grade.

Everyone suffers right along with them.

I wonder if Susan Sarandon and the rest of her ilk are proud of themselves for helping to create this travesty

Mar 2020

In an interview with Variety, Sarandon claimed that Trump inspired women and people of color to run for office to combat his policies.

In the two-minute-long clip, the interviewer asks Sarandon what "grade" she would give Trump for his performance in the Oval Office. "I'd tell him to start all over again," Sarandon responded, before suggesting the current state of politics has encouraged more women and people of color to run for office. However, she does not draw that connection to Trump or credit the president directly.

Sarandon starts by pointing out that the political stage had been set for Trump to rise to power. "I mean in all fairness to Trump, this stuff was all laid in place over the last twelve years. I mean this didn't just suddenly happen," she said.

"Democrats were losing thousands and thousands of seats and all these things were put in place, people were being deported, and there was many, many wars," Sarandon noted. "But he is so bumbling, and he is so… he's like a character out of a cartoon or something, that you can't not be aware of what's going on now.

"And Bernie Sanders proved you can run without taking dark money, without taking PAC money, and so you're seeing an enormous amount of people that are using that, and are running and winning! And so many women in primaries, and now we've got more elections coming.

"Those people, you never saw that population running. So many women, I think like 40 percent more women are running for office and becoming elected. We're on the verge of having the Governors of Florida, Georgia, and Maryland be people of color and one woman. This is a revolution," Sarandon said.

After the interview was shared on social media earlier this week, Messing and other celebrities publicly voiced their frustration and anger at Sarandon's comments.

"STFU SUSAN. Oh yes, PLEASE let's give Trump CREDIT. I mean how else are you able to walk out on the street. Convince yourself that that this CATASTROPHE of a President who you said was better than HRC IS NOT ripping children away from parents seeking asylum, holding children," Messing tweeted, alongside a link to the Variety video.

She was making a point, that's all. She's not a traitor to the cause.

She voted for Jill Stein for God's sake. She thought it would be a good idea to blow it all up. She is no great Democrat

13. What cause are you referring to?
Mon Mar 23, 2020, 01:29 PM
Mar 2020

Because our cause isn’t hers. She’s a believer in the medicine that eradicates the disease by killing the patient.

In her own reactionary way she’s as bad as Trump. And as empathetic and caring as him too.

After voting for Stein and being part of the reason we have Trump (and continuing to double down on it), she doesn't get to call herself a Democrat anymore.

Sitting in her ivory tower calling for the world to be burned down around her since 2016.

Sorry about my original post. I didn't realize what she had done. I wasn't on DU when all that went down, and I didn't know about all that.

Maybe she's not so great, after all.

You need to warn people not to be eating or be drinking anything before they read your comments......

A seventh grader in the gym shower looks at the kid next to him and says: How come your dick is so much bigger than mine.

The kid looks at him and says: Don't worry, your's will be that big when you are 18........

But she would have outvoted him by a wider margin if she'd worked harder on getting swing voters (the way Obama did) instead of relying on all the female ones.

They will continue to get ill and some will die. Democrats need to listen to Democratic leaders. Including Biden, Sanders, Cuomo, and other democratic governors for guidance.
