(6,991 posts)She's an entitled very rich person, so she doesn't give one damn about people like us who'll be out there avoiding bullets in the streets if we dare go outside to shop, go to doctor's or dentist appointment etc., and we just happen to be in in the crossfire of a deranged shooter. who got into a fight with his buddy over something, and decided to take it out on us because he and his buddy got into a huge fight.
Must be nice ....

(69 posts)Holding people who use their influence accountable is EXACTLY what we should be doing. They used their influence to spread some straight up bullshit. She could help by using her influence to say she was wrong amd to try to help reverse things.

(37,182 posts)Her influence is limited to those areas already voting Democrat. Come on. She's not the reason why Hillary lost in 2016. Poor late campaign strategies are more to blame, e.g. not campaigning in Michigan.
Also, this kind of scapegoating leads to lazy thinking. We're facing a foe that spent years and years to get us into this position. They have hacked our electoral systems to give them disproportionate power even though they're in the numerical minority. We need to strategize to fight back.

We are a block of democratic voters here on this site. Why are there rules against spreading anti-democratic propaganda here? We will vote democratic anyway right? Nowhere did I say that she was solely responsible for the election. Does that mean that I dont think she has some responsibility? Yes absolutely. When we know we have to tap the people who traditionally do not vote in order to win an election a d we know that historically it is difficult to motivate them to vote anti-democratic propaganda is absolutely not what we need in order to reach our goals. She used her pulpit to spread bullshit about our nominee which is now resulting in the problems we are facing. There were many reasons why Hillary lost. In part some of them that you mentioned. But I will not be told that I have to stop talking about the people that spread bullshit about my partys nominee.

(6,991 posts)She may be a private citizen with tons of MONEY, with her elitist self, but who is she helping with dim-witted and ignorant, elitist statements like the one's below? That nit wit is HELPING Dems causes? If what she says is help, I'd hate to see her go all IN against Dems.
Mary Trump is 1 MILLION% correct. I've never seen any of this clowns movies, and never will.
Mary Trump called Susan Sarandon a "complete idiot" who "thinks that she's some wise shaman."
Trump criticized comments by the actress suggesting its pointless to vote for the Democratic Party.
"She's a complete idiot. She doesn't know what she's talking about, and if anybody can say with a straight face that the Democrats are the problem, I don't know what to tell them," Trump said while appearing on the MeidasTouch Podcast on Thursday.
"She was pretty decent in a couple of movies a couple of decades ago, but politically she's a moron," Trump said.
Sarandon, who has a long track record of left-wing activism, has become increasingly critical of the Democratic Party. In a recent tweet, the actress accused them of "sitting on their hands for the last two years" and "scaring you into voting blue."

(6,991 posts)She's RICH, and can withstand overturn of Roe if one of her grands gets raped, she lives here in California. But what about folks living in RED states? People are going to DIE, but that's fine with her. She's too busy telling people to not vote Dem. Let me stop.
Hey, you can defend that clown if you want. That's your right
I stand with Mary Trump who knows the diabolical HOG that her bloated, miserable, treasonous, racist uncle IS.

(15,909 posts)...that she represents. There are a lot of Susan Sarandons out there who helped create the Trump presidency and the ongoing threat to democracy.
Many are still out there, remaining just as arrogantly stupid.

(7,287 posts)Sarandons idea of a revolution entails her retiring to her Vermont mountain landholdings and making a feature film while the little people and their children get shot to ribbons in the streets and schools.
She is a total phony protecting her riches while trying to present herself as a female Jesus fighting for the poor.

(10,486 posts)the environment, inequality, LGBT, endless war, and feminism. I also think her comments about Hillary's foreign policy are legitimate but I do think she has been proven wrong that a Trump victory would "start the revolution". That sure hasn't happened.
Elections have consequences and in the case of Trump they have been dire. If we can survive this madness I'm hoping more Americans will realize our welfare in directly connected to the people we empower in our political system.

It's like, this addle-brained ding dong isn't aware or doesn't CARE that the GQP US Taliban Party blocks almost eveyrthing he does, and with the man from WV and the other ding gong from AZ in there riding shotgun for the GQP, them parading as Dems ....
Susan Sarandon Finds Good News in President Trump: Hes Exposed All the Cracks in Our System

I guess if we had lost our democracy, and we still CAN if Dems and other's with brains don't get out there and vote this fall and in 2024. I guess if we had lost our democracy or do lose it, she'sll be safely overseas living in a beautiful home criticizin Dems again. Elitist pos she is.
