(24,010 posts)She stood up against a war-mad Establishment in 2002-2003 and put her career on the line and said, "NO!" She marched, she protested, she spoke for all of us who are not celebrities and get no air time in the Corrupt Media. I will never, ever, ever forget her courage and strength. And she is right about Bernie Sanders--a candidate who has been right on every progressive issue, long before it was popular, who is running an inclusive campaign that has ignited the young, who is drawing all the independents and disgruntled voters out of the woodwork, and who is fighting on despite a very, very stacked deck. He is my hero. So is Sarandon. They give this 70 year old Democrat hope that we CAN reform the Democratic Party and we CAN reclaim our country from corporations, banksters and war profiteers!
Thank you, Stephen Colbert! It was great seeing her at this moment in the campaign, with open primaries ahead of us, and a reasonable chance of winning it. What a revolution that would be!

He can make that up winning a few plus Calif! I need to stop getting so down on myself.
Thank you Susan. I will listen to you more often.
