Dear Susan Sarandon, I hope you are happy now.

Yes, we do remember how giddy you were at the prospect of a Trump-Presidency.

You were convinced, Trump would be a horrible Predident and this would trigger the progressive revolution you wanted.

Well, congratulations.

The economy is entering another recession and the coronavirus-response has been a catastrophe. Trump is a horrible President. Just as you hoped he would be. I hope you are happy now.

people pouted about not liking HRC, we have this asswipe in the Oval Office, mis-directing federal policy towards a highly infectious, highly mortal disease.

I don't give a fuck what you thought about HRC. It's not about her. It is about what you did, or failed to do, to stop Trump from being POTUS. Sarandon is an abject failure in that regard, because whatever she claimed to like about whoever she supported, unless it was "destroying the lives of hourly-wage earners during an airborne pandemic," she. has. fucking. failed.

Good job!!!

asylum seekers sent back to face gangs, kidnapping, and death. Vetted new arrivals turned away in Trump's first month. Minorities under attack as he caters to his racist base. Government institutions destroyed. Supreme Court and district judges appointed for well into the future.

Nothing excuses or justifies cooperating in letting this happen.

same with Nader voters in 2000. They all have blood on their hands. Why leftist are are a zero in my book. The should KNOW better but still will watch our country go down in hopes of teaching us a "lesson". Screw them

but most “leftists” as you call us don’t support third parties and many of us don’t support Sanders even. “Leftists” are a substantial chunk of the Democratic Party whether you like it or not.

Seems to me like her biggest contribution to the political discourse is having made herself a convenient whipping boy for folks unable or unwilling to appreciate the extent of the divisions within our big tent.
