She also paid the price for not lying to the blue collar workers. Their jobs won’t come back in the same way, so retraining and investing in new types of good-paying jobs is the better solution. But SHE’s the liar in this election. Right.

No, I said Sarandon did endorse her but if you read that statement it is hardly an endorsement. Which is what I said in my OP. She doesn’t even specify what policy stances of Stein’s that she agrees with. Most of the statement is trashing Hillary. If I’m going to endorse someone, I would definitely mention their name…
One can only hope that Sarandon’s idiocy will have a significant effect on whatever career she has left. We won’t be seeing any of her projects, now or in the future.
Also chilling with Putin
I mean she’s not to blame, but collectively, people with this kind of privilege are somewhat responsible.
Let’s just stop with this far-left nonsense that Hillary Clinton was the “lesser of two evils.” She was the most qualified candidate ever to run for Presidency on a very progressive platform. She was also the only candidate willing to defend the rights of women, refugees & immigrants, Muslims and Mexicans and paid a…
I don’t think Debra is really blaming Susan Sarandon for Trump being elected. I think she is criticizing her for stoking the flames of the ideological purists who were unbending. IIRC, Susan didn’t even “endorse” Jill Stein in the traditional sense. Most of the endorsement talked about how much she hated Hillary.…
Yeah! Do it! After all, if they build the pipeline, it will bring the revolution immediately. Things will really explode!
[Sarandon] has also suggested in the past that a Trump presidency would be a good thing, because: “Well, you know, some people feel Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately. If he gets in, then things will really explode.”
I hate Susan Sarandon and Jill Stein and their smugness so much that my knee-jerk reaction is to be like, BUILD THE PIPELINE.
But people keep arguing that independents didn’t swing this election, so the argument that Sanders would have done better in the general because of the Independent vote doesn’t make sense. And yeah, he was popular with a tiny portion of Republicans who were #NeverTrump, but it doesn’t seem to be at all significant.
San…
If you award Steins votes in PA to Clinton and make the assumption that if Gary Johnson wasn’t in play that at least 15k of his 142k voter base had common sense and voted for Hillary, she would have carried PA and thus the presidency. A similar argument could be made for FL though it would require a much higher margin…
53% of white women voted for Trump. The ire is misdirected.
Maybe he didn’t want VP. Maybe he would have been a greater force in Congress if Clinton won; ya know, the place where he could actually enforce change? Demanding Sanders be chosen as VP instead of, ya know, a committee chair or a cabinet member demonstrates just how little knowledge people seem to have about…
Yeah still didn’t answer the question; how was the guy who *lost*, and yet got the nomination (and of course THAT wouldn’t piss people off or make them feel cheated or as if democracy was just a facade) going to unite the party?
Yes, a Jewish socialist would’ve won the hearts and minds of white women and rural whites this year.
Yep, they should have put the guy on the ballot who *lost the primary*, because somehow he was going to magically win the general election!
No one has ever actually answered this question in a straight-forward way; if Sanders lost the primary, by a significant amount, how exactly is he going to do better in the…
Take Jill Stein out of the equation, Hillary takes Michigan and Wisconsin but still loses. This is on:
She better not come back in the next election and complain about how terrible Trump is, just as she did with GWB in 2004. She’s done this twice now, and she’s disgrace to this country. I’m not watching any movies that she’s in going forward.
Omg, yes fuck you Susan Sarandon. I hope you enjoy clinging to your ideological purity while Trump guts this country and drags us back to 1851 or whenever he believes America was great before.
