1. Thanks a lot, George.

[Wingus Dingus]

2. Tom Hanks hasn't weighed in yet.

[valleyrogue]

3. Go eff yourself, Clooney.

Just go to hell.

And OF COURSE it is in the NYT.

[cilla4progress]

4. Are you fucking kidding me?

We are fucked

[valleyrogue]

5. How are we "fucked"?

Clooney is an overpaid moron. He is the one who is fucked pissing off the electorate.

[cilla4progress]

16. Clooney just did a giant fundraiser for Joe

WTF is going on? Why are these people fleeing???

I'm getting a bad feeling...

[valleyrogue]

25. How are you getting a "bad feeling"?

You DO know, right, that if Biden is dumped, we have LOST the election and democracy, right? There is NOBODY else.

Stop it. Just stop it with this worrying nonsense.

[cilla4progress]

45. Duuuuhhhhh...

the tide seems to be turning against Joe.

Give me a little credit here, OK?

[Willis88]

36. Clooney

He need to fuck off

[XanaDUer2]

6. Oh god nt

[Emile]

7. Why post this crazy stupid crap?

[Wingus Dingus]

10. It's news. Are we to avoid news?

[Emile]

12. News made out of thin air!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Only good news is allowed.

[valleyrogue]

11. Exactly.

Nobody gives a shit about an overpaid ACTOR whose political knowledge you can put on the head of a pin.

[question everything]

18. Major story on CC

[Fiendish Thingy]

20. Is Clooney lying?

Do you dispute his observations of Biden at the recent fundraiser?

Others who were there have shared similar observations.

[Johonny]

8. So a month ago Biden was okay, but today

He's too old?

Don't be the last moron to call for Biden's withdrawal on the op Ed page of the failing New York Times.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. Clooney isn't saying that

He’s saying that, at the fundraiser he hosted recently, Biden’s functioning was impaired in the same way it was the night of the debate.

[Johonny]

27. Hes saying I was willing raising money for him a month ago

And said jack. Now suddenly people are pressuring me to jump off team Joe and I'm jumping. Well bye then.

Don't be the last person to post a withdrawal op Ed in the failing New York Times. Because we all know Joe isn't going anywhere.

[Wingus Dingus]

30. His words are pretty devastating--he's saying he saw up close and personally that

Biden did not appear well to him at a private function, similar to the debate.

[Bettie]

9. Ah, another rich dude who doesn't have to

fear a TFG win because he can live anywhere he wants. His wealth insulates him from the consequences of the dictatorship we will surely get if he and his buddies get what they wish for....a Trump Dictatorship.

[dweller]

13. What happened Georgie ?

Gym Jacketoff Jorden kick your ass ?

Quisling



✌🏻

[question everything]

15. This, after trying to influence the administration to not criticize his wife and the ICC

George Clooney phoned White House over fears his wife, Amal Clooney, could face sanctions, report says

[BannonsLiver]

19. Eat the rich.

[yorkster]

60. Just tax 'em.

[DemocratInPa]

21. I am a lot more concerned over this stuff..

Link to tweet

[58Sunliner]

47. I stopped following this guy for solid reasons.

[mainer]

22. So now other Dems are the enemy

Just for voicing their fears.

[C_U_L8R]

23. Want to know why Trump's been missing?

He's just sitting back laughing as we dismantle ourselves. If we don't get it together, he'll coast to an easy victory. WTF.

[Willis88]

32. Exactly

Taft is winning with this infighting BS.

TFG… not Taft. Lol

[Jrose]

24. Bottom line seems to be that

many super-rich show biz celebs (especially White males) overrate public performance, appearance and publicity over substance.

[The Magistrate]

37. Please Enlighten Us: Who Is This Better Candidate, And How Will They Get To The Nomination?

[Doc Sportello]

40. So far its Sgt. Schultz

Have never seen an informed, accurate response to your question. If there is, they should post it. None do and Clooney, etc. have not said how this will be accomplished.

[The Magistrate]

50. Nor Will You Ever, Sir

Because the honest answers are, to the first, I've got no idea, and to the second, fuck if I know.

To damn many people want a pony, and will wade though acres of bullshit sure there's one around somewhere....


"When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout."

[NoveltySocks]

28. And what magical unicorn candidate does this rich white dude suggest

replace the candidate who already won the primary?

[Willis88]

29. Never liked Clooney.

What a snake move. Keep his opinions to himself as opposed to be part of the undermining campaign.

[Srkdqltr]

31. George...... Run you would win in a landslide. Finally a good replacement!!!!

Put your money where your mouth is.

[JohnSJ]

33. Does theNY Times actively go out and solicit "Biden needs to step aside views"?

[SocialDemocrat61]

34. I stopped taking political advice from actors

decades ago. For them politics is just some fantasy football league.

[Xoan]

35. Fuck off, lion.

[onecaliberal]

38. So he supports a child rapist. Idgaf what comes out of his mouth. That is the action.

[mainer]

43. He did not say that and you know it.

If Biden runs and loses, there is the real nightmare.

[onecaliberal]

46. If he's speaking out now, that's what he's doing. PERIOD!

We fucking voted!

[mainer]

49. We voted before seeing the full picture

Had the debate happened before the primary, things might well have been different.

[onecaliberal]

48. Yup I saw the debate. I saw a child rapist tell 599 fucking lies.

[pansypoo53219]

39. i thought he was smarter than this.

stupid. trump 'won' the debate. lying his ass off. + pitching ONLY TO THE BASE. he won nobody new.

[58Sunliner]

41. Clooney lives in a bubble. I'm sure he cares about America, but rich people can't see beyond their privilege.

He thinks he actually matters that much to the rest of us. He also can't see two steps ahead. The damage and reality of a fractured dem electorate is what he is contributing to and supporting. I don't care what Clooney says. It isn't just his fight and he has much less to lose and is not at risk like the rest of us. A white male with privilege wants to tell the party what to do. Fuck that.

[mainer]

42. The reactions on this thread are frightening

What happened to openness on DU? Being able to voice an opinion is now being a traitor? When did this become a cult? We all saw the debate. We all felt tremors of fear about the performance. Now longterm, loyal Dems like Clooney and Stephen King and others are being ostracized because they spoke their minds.

[Wingus Dingus]

44. I wouldn't call it a cult like MAGA, but Biden has die-hard fans here who will never give up on him.

[58Sunliner]

57. Frightening? Like Trump as president frightening?

[HAB911]

51. I began to question him when he did the Nestle commercials

I guess no one is perfect

[RandySF]

52. It's payback for Clooney

He was reportedly angry when Biden criticized the ICC which is where Clooney’s works.

[LexVegas]

53. Under the bus goes Clooney. nt

[Miami Blue]

54. George Clooney

[link: George Clooney called White House to defend wife’s work on Israel warrants |

So George is butthurt
Sad

[Mosby]

55. Actors like clooney (and stewart) are biased

Because they focus only on the superficial, to them everything that matters is image and presentation not content. I think they are largely unaware of this bias.

Clooney is saying that Biden can't play the part anymore, and should hide himself away because it's unseemly.

[DeterDeter]

56. Dumb

So many people like him seem to be acting so dumb with this, though I'm no expert (neither is George). First. He seems to be suggesting that an open convention and fighting it out is the way to go. There is no one but Kamala who at this stage should even be considered. Secondly...do they think the media and Republicans would be satisfied with Biden announcing that he is simply not running??? No! It would be "This shows that Biden is not fit to be president and needs to step down now. Also, what did VP Harris know and when? What did his allies (the other potential contenders who George references) know and when?" This all seems like such an op and this is why Democrats lose. They are choosing to do this for this election of all elections and can't even get it together to have some message discipline for two weeks. So disappointed in so many people.

[John Shaft]

58. This fella has never seen a hungry day

his money can protect him.

[Doodley]

59. I won't attack somebody who has done so much to support the Democratic Party. Instead, I will listen.

[Ursus Rex]

61. Billionaire ex-pat says what?

I think it's important to keep in mind who HE apparently thinks he is ...
