‘Bernie or Bust’ Is Bonkers

[joeybee12]

Bernie Sanders’s surrogate Susan Sarandon went on MSNBC’s “All in With Chris Hayes” earlier this week and said something that made folks’ jaws drop.

When Hayes asked Sarandon whether Sanders’s supporters would vote for Hillary Clinton if Clinton won the Democratic nomination, this exchange followed:

SARANDON: I think Bernie probably would encourage people because he doesn’t have any ego. I think a lot of people are, sorry, I can’t bring myself to do that.

HAYES: How about you personally?

SARANDON: I don’t know. I’m going to see what happens.

HAYES: Really?

SARANDON: Really.

HAYES: I cannot believe as you’re watching the, if Donald

It's listening to nitwits like Sarandon that gave us George W. Bush

1. Good lord you really are stalking her?

So many posts about some actress. You all have to much a a celebrity fetish that you spend so much time on what one says.

[joeybee12]

2. Yeah, and there are aboslutely NO posts

praising Sarandon for her stupid comments...yeesh...I guess only one opinion is allowed here.

[artislife]

18. Fixation. nt

3. I will only vote good

The lesser evil is still evil.

[joeybee12]

6. Why not be more specific about what you mean?

Clearly what you're advocating is against DU's rules.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

21. The ToS doesn't say you have to support every democrat

[joeybee12]

25. You can't say you won't vote for the nominee

That's where that post was clearly headed.

4. When is this witch hunt going to be over?

[joeybee12]

9. I guess Sarandon can say stupid things and people like Blow

can't have an opinion? Yeah, that's a witch hunt alright.

[beam me up scottie]

10. Slut shaming her, accusing her of "latching" onto men, calling her vile names non-stop all week?

All over a lie that she supports Trump?

Yeah, it's a witch hunt and Rosario Dawson is next on the list. Any woman who doesn't support Hillary has to watch her back.

[joeybee12]

11. What?

Seriously...I have not seen any of that...and if you're accusing me of that, it's pathetic.

Sarandon is Bernie's high-profile spokesperson...and Sarandon out and out lied about what she said...all she needed to do was say she hadn't made herself clear, but she dug in. She couldn't even do that.

No, she said there was no difference between the two and that it might be ok if Trump won because the "revolution" would start sooner.

[beam me up scottie]

12. That all happened here and good for you if you weren't part of it.

But you're misrepresenting everything she said and her position as a spokesperson. She's a supporter and she doesn't deserve to be lied about and vilified for having an opinion.

[joeybee12]

13. She made a stupid comment

And people took her to task...that's what happens...what you're advocating is no criticism of anyone who likes Bernie.

[beam me up scottie]

14. Now you're misrepresenting what I said, knock it off.

[joeybee12]

15. I don't think I am

Because you are not being specific...you may think you're writing what you wan`t to, but you're leaving a lot out.

[beam me up scottie]

17. "what you're advocating is no criticism of anyone who likes Bernie"

Where did I say that?

[revbones]

27. It is when you leave convenient parts of her statements out such as "Some people think..."

[joeybee12]

29. What part about "I don't know"

when asked if shed vote for Hillary...yeah, conveniently you're ignoring that.

[revbones]

30. I have no problem with her saying that. I have problem with you leaving key pieces out.

[joeybee12]

31. The article is bout her saying that

Get out of the echo chamber.

[revbones]

32. Yes, you should get out of the echo chamber

and post the full quote context, but then people selectively quoting that aren't interested in actually discussing it, just using it as a way to try to malign her and Bernie.

5. people who vote for the lesser of two evils are still voting for evil

and yes, I believe that one of the Democratic candidates is evil.

[pangaia]

7. The Supreme Court gave us George Bush.

8. Never mind that, Joey.

How are the kittens!!

[joeybee12]

16. Can you stand it? The litter of 4 will be a year old next week...

How time flies...can't be called kittens anymore!

20. Bonkers is a good word. K & R nt

[DisgustipatedinCA]

22. I have no problem at all with Susan Sarandon exercising her rights, and you won't be changing that.

[jmg257]

23. Wow is this still news? Fine - I still pledge not vote for Susan. Nt

[jfern]

24. One of Bernie's supporters hasn't committed to voting for Hillary? Off with her head!

[LexVegas]

26. Sarandon and West are excellent Sanders campaign representatives. nt

28. BernieOrBust! Sorry but I will not vote for the Warhawk corporatist!
