Susan Sarandon says

[DFW]

....something or other, every so often. It usually sounds stupid, poorly thought out, and totally irrelevant to my life.

She doesn't come across as a complete idiot, but she is if she thinks I care.

I don't and I'm no longer listening.

[pbmus]

1. Just another 15 minute wannabe...

[DFW]

3. She is/was a talented actress

She should stick to what she's good at. "Political pundit" ain't it.

[cwydro]

10. I don't care for her politics, but she's had far more

than 15 minutes of fame.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. She went so far left, I can see her on my right. nt

That's the best I can say about SS.

[DFW]

4. If you fall off the edge of a flat earth

I guess it doesn't much matter in which direction you were heading when you did it.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Gravity is missing in your comment.

[DFW]

8. I'm told that more often than you might imagine....

It's a hazard here on DU

[betsuni]

6. She's not a good activist. Not smart.

Jane Fonda is.

[DFW]

9. Jane Fonda is in a league of her own. n/t

18. This is the best explanation I've heard for Susan Sarandon.

Though even Jane was guilty of wearing white girl blinders. Besides that thing over Vietnam, there was a Doonesbury cartoon that nailed the problem. Jane Fonda would sell her exercise videos, coming across like it was the end-all answer to every woman's problem. And Doonesbury had her pitching her program to the cleaning lady. The cleaning lady was just staring at her with hollow eyes, while holding her mop and pail. It was like she was wondering when Jane would leave so she could get to the floors.

[Hekate]

20. Oh my lord, when Doonesbury nails someone they usually stay nailed & I remember that sequence...

I laughed like hell.

I have to say, though, that Jane Fonda managed to transcend her earlier self in many ways. Being intelligent helps; being willing to learn helps; and she’s really good at her craft.

Susan Sarandon was a good actress. The rest, not so much.

21. +1

[Raster]

7. Ditto!

[JI7]

11. She is part of those that spreads around BS about Democrats and which we see many people

give as excuses to attack or not support Democrats .

So people like her have to be regularly called out on their bullshit .

[ret5hd]

12. DFW says...

things I usually agree with.

This is one of those things.

[DFW]

31. I appreciate the vote of confidence

As you have probably noticed, your point of view is not universally shared

[thesquanderer]

13. Context? Is there a reason for bringing this up today? (n/t)

[DFW]

19. In the old days

The angry demand was always „LINK?!?!?!?“

Now, I guess it‘s „Context?!?!?“

OK. I saw several threads when I got up today that started with „Susan Sarandon says....“ and what followed was somewhat underwhelming.

[mcar]

24. She's broken her 4 year silence to

complain about Democrats.

[debsy]

14. nobody cares what you think, Susan...

... you are irrelevant.

[NurseJackie]

15. I don't care what she "thinks" ... but I care that she's telling LIES about Democrats.

Her big-lies stick and harm our party, our Democratic leaders, and our efforts to make progress. She's toxic and divisive. The things she says weaken support for Democrats and the Democratic agenda. She creates distrust and resentment.

We have a sacred obligation to respond to call-out her lies. She's a stupid woman. She need to be silenced.

Put a god damned muzzle on her!

[debsy]

30. I completely agree that her lies are destructive.

However, I also think the more attention we pay to these lying liars, the more their lies are propagated. It is a vicious circle. Also, calling them names and debasing them isn't going to help either. Doing that seems petty and Trump-like (and I did it too by calling her irrelevant).

Jen Psaki is great example of how to be masterful at handling people like this. Whatever they say, disagree with the basic premise of their statement, then point out what is really happening and how the Dems are better/different from the rethugliqanons. I wish I had used her method in my original post here.

[ms liberty]

16. She lives rent free in a lot of people's heads.

[Gothmog]

17. I do not care about any opinion of Sarandon

This lady helped to elect Trump

[Blue Owl]

22. Susan SaranDON

She loves that fat piece of shit misogynist

[mcar]

23. Funny how she was silent for the last 4 years

[dalton99a]

26. +1

[leftstreet]

28. She's tweeted away for 4 years. Suddenly people are interested n/t

[dalton99a]

25. Stupid attention-seeking irrelevant has-been adores the Fox News limelight

[Beringia]

27. I hereby cancel Susan Sarandon, So good for you (sarcasm)

It's not as if you are sacrificing or giving something up.

[Mike 03]

29. It's true: she's not very smart. I just wish she wasn't such a good actress

so I could write her off completely, never give her a second thought, and throw out about ten DVDs.
