1. Yeah, I've never forgiven the people who treated Delores Huerta like that...

[sheshe2]

2. Me either, Hekate.

3. Thanks for reminding me about this incident.

4. This is the first I've heard of that particular incident!

Since I wasn't familiar with it, I googled and found a video. Unfortunately, the background noise on it was deafening, and I literally couldn't understand a single, solitary word.

Although I hadn't heard of this, I do remember some of the other things Sarandon said and did during that election cycle. She's been on my shit list ever since!

5. Dolores Huerta is a John Lewis-level icon and hero. Susan Saranwrap is a corrosive shrew.

6. I am not a fan of Susan Sarandon

Susan Sarandon and Jill Stein are happy that Roe may be overturned due to their arrogance and stupidity

7. Always backing the wrong horse and inadvertently (?) on the wrong side of progress. Ideologues.

Ideology causes inflexible thinking, self-righteousness, arrogance.

8. Here is the context for that encounter, for those who might not know:

Such is Sarandon's arrogance that some might be forgiven for having tuned out on all that involves her the past couple of decades

Only in the Nevada Democratic caucuses would you see famed labor activist Dolores Huerta get into a screaming match with actress Susan Sarandon. In fact, that’s the only place where you can see Sarandon and a fevered Bernie Sanders supporter yell at Huerta—who co-founded United Farm Workers with the famed Cesar Chavez—and accuse her of destroying unions by stumping for Hillary Clinton.

9. Sadly Sarandon continues to show her white arrogance and elitist attitude freely on Twitter....

....several times a week.

She calls herself an "activist", but what exactly has she accomplished as such?

The only thing I can see that she's accomplished is helping donald trump to be elected:

Susan Sarandon: Trump more likely to bring ‘revolution’ than Clinton

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The actress told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Monday she doesn’t think she could vote for Clinton in a hypothetical match-up between the two party front-runners.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I think a lot of people are, ‘Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to do that,’ ” Sarandon said of voting for Clinton in the general election. “I don’t know. I’m going to see what happens.”

An incredulous Hayes asked Sarandon if that meant she would vote for Trump.

“Some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately, if he gets in. Then things will really, you know, explode,”

She was correct about this: "Then things will really, you know, explode”

10. I don't think we need to go back to the 2016 primary for examples of white arrogance.

Plenty to deal with here in 2021.

[SYFROYH]

12. These were two woman (and a couple of others) having a vigorous conversation in a loud place.

To call any of them screaming is sexist.

Watch the video.

14. No. Huerta was walking into the hall and Sarandon stepped in front of her and started lecturing her.

She was standing there waiting for Huerta to enter the room. The funny thing is it appears that Sarandon didn't even know what Dolores Huerta looked like - she started in first with the woman in front of Dolores Huerta.

In case you were wondering, men scream too. "Scream" has no gender connotation.

[SYFROYH]

15. Sure, men scream, too. But neither Sarandon or Huerta were screaming.

And yet people claim they were.

Odd that.

13. Never forget that #BloodySusan Sarandon campaigned for Nader in 2000

16. And she kept saying Hillary shouldn't be president because of fracking, she wouldn't fight climate

change because of fracking.

In 2000 we had Al Gore, a champion of fighting climate change. Because he talked about global warming in the 90s we had to hear jokes about him for the next decade or so every time it snowed. But not good enough for Susan. War, environmental destruction, tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, torture, illegal surveillance, massive corruption and destruction. No lesson learned there! Both sides or bust.

Listening to Sarandon ranting for years about how Hillary was bribed by Wall Street, Monsanto, corporations, went "around the world" promoting GMOs for Monsanto (besides the "she's a warmonger" stuff), I wonder if it ever occurs to her that if Hillary really does only think about money and was so corrupt and evil, why the hell isn't she lobbying for Monsanto now? Why isn't she out there warmongering? Lobbying for fracking? Why not a nice-paying job for some Republican think tank? If she was "more dangerous than Trump" why wasn't she working for his administration to teach everyone how to be really, really, seriously evil and start the warmongering? What happened to the all-powerful "Clinton Machine"? What was all that hysteria about?

18. Perfect! Siri knows everything!

I'll never forget, nor will I ever forgive that insufferable you-know-what!

20. Agreed! 🤬
