Puny Clooney can join Hasbeen Sarandon on the wrong side of history. Fuck them both.

This voter here is opting for the right side. I'm ridin' with Biden/Harris 2024. Anything else is antithetical to our Republic

I am not willing to call out all the Dems that may disagree with me. This week I've seen the following people, and more, designated basically as enemies of the people on DU: Clooney, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Sen Bennett and many more. I disagree with a lot of what they say but telling them to fuck off after all they have done for Dems and our country is a bridge too far for me.

I am very disturbed by how quickly these great Democrats are cut down by our own. We all
want to save our country. We are seeing it from different perspectives. Some want to rally
around the leader. Others have wavered in their confidence in that leader. Both are normal
reactions to what we all saw at the debate and some have seen elsewhere.

A circular firing squad is just what Trump and his team want. They could not be happier
as this party disintegrates before our eyes.

Snipping at each other when we need to find consensus is ineffective and frankly dangerous.
Have all these years of polarization turned so many into reactionaries that so quick turn on anyone who differs from your opinion? As I said very disturbing and not a way to win the Presidency, the House, or the Senate.

To me, there's a huge difference between Clooney raising questions vs. Susan Sarandon running around telling people not to vote for the Democratic candidate.

Clooney isn't doing that, and neither are the others you mention.

As far as I know, Rasheeda Tlaib is the only Democratic politician telling people not to vote for Biden, and it's nothing to do with his age.

his wife, an accomplished attorney, backing an ICC resolution declaring warmonger Netanyahu a war criminal?

I find no problem with that resolution, and I see a person not agreeing with a person he bacs on every issue.

I'm not ready to write off Clooney and his wife feeling that warmoner Netanyahu is a war criminal.

on continuing to supply certain weapons to warmonger Netanyahu enabling him to keep killing in Gaza, but I still back Biden on the whole and hope he can get the warmongAgainer and Hamas to agree on a ceasefire.

Again, my question is, did Clooney say he no longer backs Biden?

And btw, do you disagree with some aspects of the admin's polices yet you still back Biden and hope he's successful in achieving a ceasefire?

who have asked him to quit the race. Why would you go after Clooney? Be Magnanimous like Joe. Makes Joe look to be the bigger person vs. Trump who has an enemies list of 300 he plans on going after.

I thought you had a lot more going on upstairs and intelligence is sexy. I thought we may be done when you got married but now it's certain. Plus you look old*. Adios, ke aloha.

As Olivia Juliana said, an actor doesn't support Biden? So what. Virtually none of Trump's actual cabinet supports him including the VP he tried to hang.

*OK, that was mean and he still looks pretty good plus gray hair is sexy too. We're still done.

and regrets it now ....

Let's look at the fact NO ONE has spoke up and said they would run....Kamala included. There is a lengthy process for a new candidate to get on the ballot in every state...its also expensive and they can't use Biden's monies from his campaign...then, we know tRump and the MAGA states would not let someone else get on the ballot....thus tRump runs unopposed...


So, I'm riding with Biden....I believe Clooney will made this right...

This crap had me walking around my house audibly talking to myself. Why do we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. Pretty soon we won't have any toes left. Biden is hosting NATO at the White House and Clooney thinks this is the time to question Biden's cognitive abilities. The only person in this situation with decrease cognitive abilities is Clooney. Please Man STFU!
