Susan Sarandon leads protest against AOC and the Squad: 'We are losing

[iemanja]

Susan Sarandon has appeared at a protest against New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her “Squad” of progressive lawmakers outside the congresswoman’s Bronx office.

“I’m here to say to the Squad, and especially AOC, who, you know, did make a lot of promises, that we still have faith in you and we would like to see if you have a better plan than we’ve been able to see, please share it,” Ms Sarandon told the assembled crowd using a megaphone.

The event was advertised as a Medicare for All rally. “If there’s a pathway you’ve got that we’re not aware of please share it. Because we’re losing hope here that you represent us.”

According to the event page at actionnetwork.org, the protesters were demanding that Ms Ocasio-Cortez “call on Biden to declare a pandemic public health emergency and expand Medicare to every American using Section 1881A of the Social Security Act”.

1. Why Does She Think...

...that these relative newcomers have the clout to have accomplished their goals, especially given who was POTUS until just 6 months ago?
It's simply stupid to expect more than elevating concerns & promoting some ideas.

4. Exactly

Not to mention that her first term was during the Trump administration. Biden was inaugurated 6 months ago! 6 MONTHS!!! She's 74 and worth $60 Million. She needs to either run for office or STFU and count her $$$.

5. Maybe open up one or two of her six mansions

to the homeless?

6. She has admitted to using acid and mushrooms

10. Do you agree with Sarandon

that AOC and the rest of the squad aren't doing enough to get it passed?

8. She stood in front of a locked storefront with the security gate closed and spoke for 10 minutes.

Probably no more than a dozen people were there.

12. Don't forget Loreal

and their known record of employee mistreatment.

13. I wonder why she went up to the Bronx, that isn't even her office. Her real office is in Queens...

...and probably closer to where Sarandon lives and was more likely open.

Here's the Bronx office, which is really Assemblywoman Reyes' office, which is where Sarandon went:
