Susan Sarandon on why she supports Bernie: 'I don't vote with my vagina'

[Cali_Democrat]

I feel this is insulting to female supporters of Hillary. I don't think Hillary's female supporters back her because they're voting with their vaginas.

-------------------------------------
Actress Susan Sarandon says she will not let her lady parts guide her voting.

“I don’t vote with my vagina,” she tweeted Wednesday, weighing in on Hillary Clinton’s bid for the White House. “It’s so insulting to women to think that you would follow a candidate JUST because she’s a woman.”

She continued, “HRC doesn’t rep my interests, @BernieSanders does. Simple as that.”

1. How would one do that?

[beam me up scottie]

3. Very carefully.

2. Your concern is noted.

Were you equally outraged when Steinem and Albright insulted women who support Bernie?

[Cali_Democrat]

12. I disagreed with Albright's comments and was happy when she apologized. nt

13. In other words, of course not. And you defended Steinem and Albright.

[Cali_Democrat]

16. How did I defend Steinem and Albright? Surely you have evidence to back up your assertion. nt

19. Sorry, I'm on my tablet and can't do a search.

In any case, I forgot to use that nifty du function on you. After your startling unpleasantness to me regarding my disability, I meant to. I'll rectify that now.

Buh Bye

[Cali_Democrat]

20. Nice excuse. I never defended Steinem or Albright for their comments

You probably should provide more evidence before making assertions like that.

14. Sure you did. Where was your op?

[Cali_Democrat]

18. Someone else had created an OP about it

I didn't know that I was required to create one as well.

Thanks for informing.

Where would I be without you?

4. When you have Albright and Steinem making idiotic sexist comments, you can expect this rebuttal.

5. ugh

It seems strange that at a time when the country has the opportunity to elect the first female president, the idea that gender might be a factor is considered shallow in some circles. Only in a sexist society would women be told that caring about representation at the highest levels of government is wrong. Only in a sexist society would women believe it. - (Jessica Valenti, a leading feminist author)

11. Nobody is saying it's wrong

they're saying gender shouldn't be the primary reason for voting for someone. She even said in her very next sentence it's about the issues.

You knew that though.

[Chichiri]

6. The implication being that Hillary being a woman is the only reason to vote for her.

I love Susan Sarandon, but that's shallow and insulting.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Here is the problem

I have been told specifically by older female (mostly white) voters, that the reason they are voting for her is not foreign policy or economics. It is her gender.

I find that insulting myself. I vote on policy, not color, or gender.

8. Psst....it might be a metaphor.

9. Who really cares

At this point it's best to ignore this class of people who want to come up with all sorts of reasons why many are voting for Clinton over Sanders.

[NCTraveler]

10. I hope not. There are much better ways to vote.

At my polling location they use bubble forms. Voting with ones vagina would be very impressive.

[Cali_Democrat]

21. LOL!

15. From someone who supported Nader over Gore, judgement seems to come into

question regarding Sarandon.

Of course Sarandon could have just said that "Hillary doesn't represent her interests", and that would have made the point effectively, instead of injecting an anatomical part. I guess Killer Mike and Sarandon believe it is important to focus on that.

We will see how well that sells

[farleftlib]

17. I believe she was responding

to the scolding and pressure we women get for not supporting Hillary's "historic" candidacy and the importance of having a chance to elect the first woman president.

Albright and Steinem aren't selling Hillary that well. Maybe you should be concerned about that.
