Dear Susan Sarandon

You were at Bill Maher tonight and stated, correctly, that most of the Saneristas are not even Democrats. They do not consider themselves Democrats and will have no desire to vote for the Democratic nominee if she is not Sanders. (Personally, I doubt they will even bother to vote in November once they got what they want).

This means that for you and for all the Sanderistas, having Cruz or Trump in the White House will be.. meh.

And having the next Supreme Court 7-2 arch conservative - well, I suppose at your state in life any decisions will not affect you much. You have the money, the celebrity status, it is all just a game.

Having revealed that you were a Nadertite in 2000 makes it all clear. For you and your friends, politics is a game. If it affects the life of millions of Americans - well, for you it is you win some you lose some.

They also chant the same right-wing talking points.

Even my sister, a once right-wing republican, is for Hillary now. We can do this.

I loved Sarandon for her anti-war and pro-choice activities but she is way wrong on this one.

No need to explain your stand... Thank you for your input and, of course, you are spot on.

The way she spoke to Dolores was revolting. Do all his supporters go to the same training camp that turns them into sanctimonious and entitled 'splainers? I have never met people who had more of the answers to everything before.

that the difference between Bernie and Donald Trump is that Bernie's revolution could take a while but Trump's revolution would happen very quickly (and seemed to approve of the Trump "revolution&quot she lost all credibility with me. Anybody who believes Trump would be a good choice for POTUS is a moron.

she could vote for her, told me everything I needed to know about Sarandon.

Ms. Sarandon,you expressed you views very clearly how you feel about Hillary supporters, and I say right back at you Sarandon with your own words:

Only the peons like me will pay in blood for the next 8 years under Trump and the republicans.

Sarandon will just draw the curtains in her many mansions to help drown out the sounds of suffering she causes.

She did it once already backing Nader so Bush got 8 years. Now shes doubling down with Bernie.
