Fk You Susan Sarandon. You advocated for this shit.

To those who chose the Pussy Grabber & the author of "Rape Fantasies", this is for you tonight.
As you all prepare your Women's Rights campaign speeches for the drueling Media & beat your chests & clutch your pearls in disbelief of the Texas horror show now given free reign to be enacted in other States, & as you all see a new opportunity to be the championing advocates for fundrasing & marches & Media time promoting how much you all really suddenly give a shit, This Nightmare Was Your Undoing, for sheer lack of forsight as you all posed for a perfect camera shot & social media 'likes' while completely missing the gravity of what lied ahead. You selfish fking vapid naieve nobodies.

The really pissy thing here is that the generations it took to gain this sacred right of a woman & her Dr to choose her path, was so callously & quickly tossed away by a generation whose gratitude for what was granted them by those hard fights before they were born, was completly taken for granted. You fking gave it away.

The mantel of that hard fought priveledge was handed down to you, to hold dear & preserve for those generations that follow you.

What did you do with that!??

This loss to women's rights is one that will not easily be reclaimed.

This is yours to now explain to the girls & women who follow you, why you gave that mantel away, why you failed to realize the critical urgency to see that a Supreme Court would be always maintained in favor of a woman's right to choose.
And most of all why you chose the Pussy Grabber & the author of "Rape Fantasies", over the woman who would have kept that mantel sacred to every female in this country.

I personally hold you all responsible for this loss.
There is nothing you will ever do & no words you ever say that will give cause to believing that you are even capable of serving anyone but your own selfish interests for money & fame.

*************

HERE.
From Campaign 2016, since you all apparently never took it serious back in 2016.

Hillary Clinton: "Here's what I want in the Supreme Court"
WED, OCT 19 2016


Hillary Clinton on Wednesday described her goals for Supreme Court appointments, highlighting how her potential administration would differ from Donald Trump's.

Clinton said she wanted justices who would defend women's rights, back LGBT rights, support Roe v. Wade and reverse the Citizens United decision and its ability to funnel dark money into elections. Clinton said she wanted a court to "stand on the side of the people"

************

HERE IT IS. Read the text. Watch the video. When you ever vin your lifetime stand as tall & brave & wise as She did, then you will have achieved nirvana.
You plain old took it all for granted in your uber priviledged worlds & ignored the most critical moment since Roe v Wade, 1973.

but we purged the Hillary Haters here quite a while ago.

At least most of them.

Hillary was never my favorite candidate but I donated a lot of money to her campaign and voted for her (and got my just turned 18 year old niece to vote for her too).

I expect a lot more states where repukes control the legislative chamber and the governorship will be passing similar laws like the Texiban did.

Sue your relatives and neighbors for fun and profit and to cause them untold misery. What they have done is evil beyond belief.

Some of those frustrating people, though, are just hard wired to suspicion and hostility toward Democrats and "the establishment." They can't change and they mostly promise to vote against Democrats every election, so the better they're understood, and what LW candidates are saying to draw them, the better.

Reminds me of how when candidate Pat Buchanan's popularity with aggressive white male racists became known it put an end to both his political career and his career as an MSNBC regular. Until then, most of the daytime lineup offered him to their viewers as a highly respected conservative intellectual with a racism and misogyny so understated and gentlemanly (on their shows) that it mostly flew under the radar.

Needless to say, it wasn't MSNBC that outed The Real Pat Buchanan. The kind of admirers his presidential candidacy drew to events covered by the press did.

audiences until they were well trained to harass anyone who supported Satan Hillary, then turned around a couple months before the election and told their supporters to vote for her. It doesn't work that way! You told them she was corrupt and evil. They believed you. Doesn't work to suddenly say, just kidding, that was populist bullshit and lies so I could be popular.

Moore did at least try a little by going to Trumpland. The worst ones made sure their weak message to vote for Hillary was vague and passive-aggressive. They knew exactly what they were doing. Ironically, their supporters were the ones calling Hillary a weathervane. At least the Stein idiots were consistent.

not be ever given a seat at the table, not only for suppression of a woman’s right to choose, but for voting rights, civil rights, etc.

It didn’t take much either. In every critical swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%, and in those critical swing states, Jill Stein received 1% of the vote

Make no mistake about it, Turner, Brianna Joy Gray, and other supposed progressives followed the same path of Sarandon, and are equally culpable

The damage they did make it very unlikely it will be undone in the foreseeable future

They have effectively spit on those who fought and even gave their lives in some instances for those who fought for voters rights and civil rights

the incredible collective stupidity of ignoring the rw talk radio monopoly for 30 years and counting.

not individuals, but the organizations and dem party leadership that all probably live in cities and have no clue and now blame facebook, etc. the republican party is falling apart because their one true leader the last 30 years, who told millions most of that time that smoking doesn't cause cancer, just died of it.

for most of that time limbaugh also lied about and attacked the clintons and for more than a decade was used by putin and dwas hte primary reason people like bush and trump were able to get anywhere near the white house.

it's a good rant but the it's useless. we let 1500 radio stations lie about hilllary and many more good democrats and we let limbaugh calll christine "balsey" ford a liar for three weeks to enable the motherfucking republicans put that shit on the supremes, like we let him lie about anita hill many years before.

if democrats want to end this crap they can take advantage of limbaugh's croaking and at least get those 1000s of university students at 87+ universities to stop letting their unis support 260+ xlimbaugh stations without protest or complaint

it is pitiful how much political analysis and finger pointing goes on by mostly city dwellers who never even minutely factor the single biggest player in this disaster.

and look at texas - in texas 5 major universities support 16 xlimbaugh stations by broadcasting sports on them - and probably a lot more schools and rw stations in texas are doing same - TEXAS 16 Texas A&M 9, Texas Tech 4, Texas 1, Texas Christian 1, Baylor 1

students pissed off at this can blame their own schools for supporting stations that
- elect republicans
- put unqualified supremes on the court
- have attacked roe v wade for 30 years
- deny global warming and covid
- sell voter suppression legislation
- push to defund public ed and stop student loan reform
-excuse racism and attack kneeling athletes
- and so on

here's dessantis and floriduh - FLORIDA 20 Florida 10, Florida St. 4 Miami 2, South Florida 2, Central Florida 2

how fucking stupid is it that we let these universities do this shit without complaint - when one school merely announces it will look for apolitical alternatives advertisers will head for the hills, and other schools will follow.

the ad industry will have to break up the monopoly if it starts seeing universities and advertisers deserting rw radio, and rw radio is republicans only unique advantage

sam nunberg says trump had him listen to and write notes on 1000s of hours of talk radio. since limbaugh was already available in transcript and trump was dining and playing golf wiith him that was likely about those swing states - the same ones the russians that mueller indicted visited? that's probably what the russian trolls based their ops on. why would they hire a bunch of social media wizs just to make things up and hope they stick? most of that hilllary stuff was based on limbaugh's bullshit going back 25 years. but you know what? even though nunbergs beenn in MSNBC and CNN as a trump expert a few dozen times, at least, i don't think he's ever been asked about that.

and a lot of that hilllary crap so common on the radio for 2 decades was getting tossed around here too.

everything the republican party is today flew out of limbaugh's ass, and people who turned off the music and sampled the RW talk radio once in a while would recognize it

or working other than RW talk radio. that's just the way it is in most of rural america and a big part of why rw radio is used to fight off net neutrality and universal broadband - whatever their excuse. most parts away from big cities those may be the only clear signals for news, current events, emergency etc. i'lll bet those stations will be a priority in louisiana and mississippi - where they will be used to reprise covid denial and blame any glitches or failures or slowdowns in repair on Dem politicians and leaders - like they did with so successfully after katrina

most party and media and prog organization leaders live in cities and will listen to music or read and write and their RW media sampling is probably largely limited to fox - which is the cartoon cliff notes for rw radio. and they blame facebook, another decoy.

university towns may be liberal outliers. in cities where there are more easy sources of information though, there may still be half a dozen redundant RW radio stations but NO liberal talk stations.

They can spend their money as they see fit and I doubt that you will find many students that are going to lead a movement against them. I also doubt that you will find a large number of students at either Texas Tech or Texas A&M that are vehemently opposed to how their universities spend their advertising budget seeing that they are regarded as conservative institutions.

I believe that the students will be courteous and listen to you, but do you realistically expect that these students to jeopardize scholarships and possibly disenrolled for the cause you mention?

any protest along those lines either by students or community, or even as a debate team topic, would scare advertisers. few of those stations could survive if the only advertisers on them were owned by trumpers - and those should be the only ones supporting those stations- for the others it's convenience, price, lack of choice.

if one school merely begins a public discussion about maybe looking for alternatives other schools will too. advertisers will start to get worried about blowback and ask ad agencies about alternatives. after two or three unis around the country join in it will start a real exodus. the ad industry will have to stop it to prevent widespread loss of advertisers from the radio medium - by forcing station owners to start offering balance or other programming all together.

lies about issues like global warming and COVID are not just political opinion on stations licensed to operate in the public interest, no matter how conservative the state or the university. let it go to the supreme court - the publicity will destroy the radio ad industry

People smarter than me would say 'you can't prove a counter-factual'.

Scalia's seat was already empty, and RBG would have passed anyway, so we know there would be two vacancies.

In spite of the 'Blue Wave' of 2018 in the House, we lost two seats in the Senate. Who knows if we could have even took the House with a Dem in the Presidency in the 2018 midterms. Historical precedent says we wouldn't have, and also that we shouldn't keep the House in 2022. Right now I don't like the odds.

Like Sarandon did with Nader against Gore, she did with Stein against HRC.

Yes, she helped us get into Afghanistan & out of Roe v Wade.

Nationally, Trump got 52% of the white female vote.

Below are the battleground states identified as such by Ballotpedia which Hillary lost

In MI, Trump got 51% of the white female vote compared to 43% for Hillary

In PA, Trump got 50% of the white female vote compared to 47% for Hillary

In FL, Trump got 60% of the white female vote compared to 36% for Hillary

IN NC, Trump got 60% of the white female vote compared to 37% for Hillary

In AZ, Trump got 51% of the white female vote compared to 44% for Hillary

IN OH, Trump got 56% of the white female vote compared to 39% for Hillary

In Iowa and Wisconsin, Hillary got a plurality of the the white female vote (49% in both states) but not a majority.

************************************************************************************************

There's another thread today seeking to excuse Jill Stein and Susan Sarandon (two hyper-privileged white women) for their part in getting Trump elected, instead blaming what the OP calls "Trump switcher" voters. It is interesting, though, that Professor Schaffner did note a racial component in his initial analysis of the "Trump switcher" (another poster's term) voter data.

**********************************************************************************************



************************************************************************************************

To the extent that Sarandon, Grey, Turner, Sirota, and Stein tipped the scales with their toxic "lesser of two evils" narrative, they need to take responsibility and apologize.

**********************************************************************************************




***********************************************************************************************

And 2016 was the second time for the privileged Ms Sarandon. She pulled the same stunt in 2000 where she managed to convince an earlier segment of purists to buy her script that environmental activist / Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore was the "lesser of two evils".

Susan Sarandon is an unmitigated ass who deserves to be called out loudly and frequently.

According to CNN exit polls, 45% of those voters were white females of which Hillary got 49%. Had Hillary gotten 51% of the white female vote , she would have won the state.

Trump had won the state by 22,648 votes.

2% of the white female vote is 26,785.

Jill Stein, according to the CNN exit poll, got 1% of the white female vote. Had they voted for Hillary instead, she would still have lost WI.

Any gendered argument based on the pseudo-mathematical analysis of partial data concerning a subset (that also seeks to erase the responsibility of a subset of that subset) is ... interesting, at best.

However, the fact remains (based on verified, concrete, actual votes counted) that the certified data in three key battleground states show that either Jill Stein voters alone or "Trump switcher" voters alone gave Donald Trump his margin of victory, delivering to him the White House and three Supreme Court appointments.

************************************************************************************************




***********************************************************************************************




***********************************************************************************************

As for the "methodology" leading to an assertion concerning white, female, Jill Stein spoilers, it seems to be based on an exit poll that fails to report its margin of error, simple arithmetic, and many, many assumptions rather than any standard procedure or formula employed by data scientists.

Data analysis is complex and best left to experts.

Just to whom was HRC more dangerous than Trump,? I'd like that answered, still.


When Tad DeVine became the media manager back in 2014, setting up a media co, & began prepping way back in 2006 while he was still involved with Manafort in Putin's dirty Ukraine election selection, the game to seat Trump was already well in play.
They needed someone to run oppo in the D Party.

104. Opinion: Hillary Clinton warned us this day would come
Sun Sep 5, 2021, 12:30 AM
Sep 2021



The results are in. Of the five Supreme Court justices who allowed Texas to implement the strictest abortion ban in the nation, three — Neil M. Gorsuch in 2017, Brett M. Kavanaugh in 2018 and Amy Coney Barrett in 2020 — were appointed by President Trump.

You may argue back and forth whether fair warning is ever fair play. But there’s no disputing the fact that Clinton’s red alert came in plenty of time for voters caring about women’s rights to plan how to deal with Trump on Election Day. Did it fall on deaf ears?

Clinton handily won the popular vote but lost in the electoral college. Too many voters, in states where they were needed, failed to turn out or skipped her name on the ballot. The whys of it are being debated to this day. The fact is that some voters might have heard what she said was at stake but still chose to follow the alluring sounds of Trump’s snake-oil campaign.

Had truth won out in 2016, this dark day for women’s rights could have been avoided.

But, perhaps, some consolation might come with the thought that Texas’s dreadful law might serve to mobilize women’s health voters — across the entire gender spectrum — to do what apparently too many failed to do five years ago: flock to the polls to protect reproductive freedom like there’s no tomorrow. There wasn’t one for candidate Clinton five years ago. There should be plenty of tomorrows, however, for the cause of reproductive rights and justice — if voters, next time around, respond as they should have when Hillary Clinton first sounded the alarm.

Now, there’s no excuse.
