Susan Sarandon Doubles Down On Nonsense

snip//

What’s so infuriating and so exasperating is that Sarandon hasn’t changed her mind since the election. Instead she has just doubled down on it. The bubble she lives in must be made of concrete if she cannot see how this country has changed for the worst since the election of Donald Trump. Jeff Sessions is running the Justice Department like its 1950. The KKK has crawled out from under the hole they were buried in. There was a story about Nazis in the New York Times, basically claiming they are just like the rest of us except for the whole Nazi thing. And Republicans are set to pass the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the richest in this country.

As an activist, Sarandon doesn't seem interested in anything except bashing Democrats. I wonder what the point is. I'm expecting fracking, drone warfare, warmongering, immigrant deportations freak-outs to make a reappearance (as when Obama was in office but not Trump) now there's a Democrat in office. Kardashian voted for the Democrat in 2016. When Kim Kardashian is smarter than you...

I can't imagine why anyone here would waste an ounce of energy paying attention to her.
I can't imagine why anyone here would allow her smears and denigration and lies against the Democratic party and our stalwart Democrats to go un-rebuffed and un-refuted.

She causes great damage whenever she opens her piehole. For us to "ignore" her or to be silent is an indication of acceptance and approval; or an admission that she's right and justified. Neither of which are true.

She's much more dangerous that people realize or are willing to admit. I approve of fighting back whenever she seeks to denigrate our great party and our party's leaders. She's an arrogant and vain and stupid woman. The damage she causes only sets-back the progress she claims to want to make.

In the real world. One of them was even convinced that Bernie was going to flip the 2016 convention. Once she got over the disappointment she started in on the Hillary hate. I can think of at least five Bernie people off the top of my head, in my community, who were Stein voters. One of them even said recently that Hillary is actually to blame for Coney Barrett getting in, because "Bernie would have won easily," and so the Court appts. are Hillary's fault. That's why I'm at the point where I'm a little annoyed at the Let's Blame Hillary for Everything.

None of us are Sarandon fans, and clearly, this OP opened the door to some hideous suggestive posts. There should not be posts on DU in favor of a woman having a cactus inserted into her, or cheering it on. I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread.

I don't follow her or anyone else who actively work against my Democratic party. I would never know what that woman says, except for members here, posting her every utterance... But they also hate her so much, they want her violated by a cactus? Sarandon doesn't see the ugly pro cactus insertion posts, but I do.
