Samuel L. Jackson endorses Hillary Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Actor Samuel L. Jackson said Sunday that he is backing Hillary Clinton for president next year because Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has no chance of winning the White House.

“I’m forever a Democrat, you know, and I’m gonna vote for Hillary,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.


“I mean, I love Bernie — Bernie’s a man of the people — but he can’t win,” Jackson continued. "So I gotta cast my vote for a person that can keep those other people from winning, okay?"
Jackson argued that Clinton’s past political experience gives her a significant edge over other White House hopefuls from both parties.

“Hillary kind of knows the job — she can hit the ground running,” the movie star said of the Democratic presidential front-runner. "She doesn’t have a huge learning curve like [President Obama] had or some other people had.”

“Hopefully she can open up the skeletal files on these do-nothing assholes that go to work like four times a year and not vote on things and threaten them with whatever she and [former President Bill Clinton] uncovered on them years ago and make them do something and we can get something done.”

you are targeted with voter obstruction.

I wish Sam would talk about that, I wish others would talk about that.

3. There are a lot of good Samuel L Jackson video but I can't/won't post them here

There are a lot of good Samuel L Jackson video but I can't/won't post them here, especially those from Django Unchained.

[SCantiGOP]

51. I kind of wish

That you has posted this in the Hillary forum instead of here, so we would be spared the caustic, desperate rants from the more deranged Sanders fans.
I agree with Jackson completely: I love Sen Sanders but won't consider voting for him because he would lose the general election if he did somehow get the nomination.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

55. Dissing Samuel L Jackson reflects more poorly on those doing the dissing...

Dissing Samuel L Jackson reflects more poorly on those doing the dissing than it can ever reflect on him. I also find it amusing.


Oh, please see post 27.

[Voice for Peace]

67. I think people are very mistaken about this

All polls snd signs I've seen show the advantage is for Bernie in GE

[SCantiGOP]

86. General election polls are worthless at this point

You don't need more than a casual knowledge of recent American history to know that a self-described Socialist would lose the GE in a landslide.

[Voice for Peace]

100. That's not what I am seeing, reading

Bernie has a broad appeal because his message is honest, and so easy to understand. Same message for rich poor black white old young left right. It's resonating in surprising places. Like many, I think it comes down to a contest between Truth and Lies.

People have an inner radar for honesty. My opinion. Whoever gets R nomination ought to be easy to beat on that basis, as they are all chronic liars, and it's easy to prove. Bernie could dismantle any of them.

Also, recent history tells me that Republican hatred of HC is much greater than fear of Socialism. They will vote in droves.

Bernie trusts people, gives them credit for being able to use common sense. He is focused on the common good. Even blind people can see this.

128. Here's one right here folks

Hillary supporter who declares they will not vote for Sanders in the GE
Now let's all hold our breath and wait for that ban hammer to come down

[SCantiGOP]

129. Go back and read it

It clearly says I won't vote for Sanders in the primary because I am afraid he would lose. the general election. I will vote for whomever is the Democratic candidate in November.
But you knew that anyway, right?

114. Impressive. (eom)

[redstateblues]

112. Can you match the good he's done?

I didn't think so. Just name calling someone who has a life you know nothing about.

[RoccoR5955]

126. Over the course of my life, I probably could

Since I have been active in causes from ending the Viet Nam War, to stopping the opening of the Shoreham Nuclear Plant, to the cleaning up of the Hudson River, to working at my local food co-op and community serviced agriculture farm, to many more numerous causes I have actually worked for with my own two hands and minds.
For 46 years I have been doing it, and shall continue to do so.
Just because someone donates money to a cause does not make them a good person. Look at all of the "good causes" that the Koch brothers have donated to. The list is as long as your arm. Does that make the Koch brothers good guys? I didn't think so.

[Sheepshank]

110. But but but 50 years ago Bernie marched

I've been told that pretty much is the civil rights trump card right there.

[840high]

113. Yep. He's a good

actor but I really don't care who he votes for.

[Vermin Supreme]

10. Who?

Who is this guy?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. "Who is this guy?"

Jackson has said that he chooses roles that are "exciting to watch" and have an "interesting character inside of a story", and that in his roles he wanted to "do things [he hasn't] done, things [he] saw as a kid and wanted to do and now [has] an opportunity to do".[120] Throughout the 1990s, A.C. Neilson E.C.I., a box office tracking company, determined that Jackson appeared in more films than any other actor that grossed $1.7 billion domestically.[121] For all the films in his career, where he is featured as a leading actor or supporting co-star, his films have grossed a total of $2.81[122] to $4.91 billion[123] at the North American box office, placing him as the seventh (as strictly lead) or the second highest-grossing movie star (counting supporting roles) of all time; behind only that of voice actor Frank Welker. The 2009 edition of The Guinness World Records, which uses a different calculation to determine film grosses, stated that Jackson is the world's highest grossing actor, having earned $7.42 billion in 68 films.[124

What distinguishes a two bit actor from an accomplished thespian and can you please demonstrate the nexus between a person's wealth and his or her choice of candidates?

Thank you in advance for answering my two questions .

Oh, I have a third question...

Donald Trump would cut Samuel L Jackson's taxes, a lot. If his vote was primarily an economic one why isn't he supporting Trump?

[NCTraveler]

17. In four minutes you went from not having a clue as to who he is.

To a critic of his career and character.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. He has so many great roles

Stephen in Django Unchained

Wesley Snipes' crack addicted brother in Jungle Fever

The aggrieved father whose daughter was killed by racists in Time To Kill

Coach Carter

I don't think these broadsides help their candidate but it's unwise to stop your opponent when he is shooting himself in the foot.

Did you know he was in Goodfellas?

[NCTraveler]

21. I had no idea he was in Goodfellas.

Really like a lot of his work.

Interestingly enough, I would say the same thing if he spoke highly of Sanders, as he did.

as you are.

56. LOL ...

Funny, huh?

[JunkyardAngel83]

29. Some rich two bit actor? Are you fucking kidding?

Samuel L. Jackson is one of the greats. I don't believe you don't know who he is. In any case, check out the film Jackie Brown. His greatest work IMHO.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. I forgot Jackie Brown.

He has an incredible body of work.


And don't forget Pulp Fiction and Shaft.

[JunkyardAngel83]

42. I've watched both Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown so many times

I've lost count. They never get old for me. I think he should've been nominated for his role in Jackie Brown. Robert Forster wasn't the only one who deserved recognition.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

44. Did you like his role as Stephen in Django?

The scene where he first meets Django is priceless but I can't post it here.

[JunkyardAngel83]

63. Yes, he was great. As always.

I can't wait to see The Hateful Eight.

[Karma13612]

39. Sam is an outstanding actor. But, I feel he just made an outstandingly bad

endorsement.

He is using the meme that you should vote in the primary based on electability, but yet he thinks Bernie is great. Here was a chance for a well-respected celebrity to enlighten people instead of supporting the warped self-fulfilling prophesy logic.

I can't help but wonder if his role as the spokesperson for "Capital One Financial Corporation" has anything to do with it.

[JunkyardAngel83]

43. Oh FFS.

Yeah, I'm sure that's why he endorsed Hillary.

[1StrongBlackMan]

57. One of the great actors ...

and a heck of a good and funny guy.

I met him on the golf course, once. He was in the foursome ahead of me. We kept catching up to his group and at the tee box he had us laughing our butts off.

I bought him a drink (and had a picture taken) back in the club house.

(Sorry to those offend that would have my past time, as an elitist pursuit.)

[one_voice]

35. But you're okay with rich actors..

supporting Bernie?

Maybe you can explain the difference.

[NCTraveler]

121. I would like to add something...

As I feel it is important. You say you never heard of him. In under four minutes you made claim to his talent and character. The only possible way to do that in under four minutes is from appearance alone. What is it about his appearance that brought such negativity out in you?

Completely fair question considering your two posts.

40. "Bernie's a Man of the People" says Samuel Jackson

Actor Samuel L. Jackson said Sunday that he is backing Hillary Clinton for president next year because Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has no chance of winning the White House.

“I’m forever a Democrat, you know, and I’m gonna vote for Hillary,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.


"I mean, I love Bernie — Bernie’s a man of the people — but he can’t win,” Jackson continued.

[SammyWinstonJack]

Jackson had to say about how Bernie can't win.

What a cop out reason to vote for Hillary.

59. MUTHA....

[LS_Editor]

60. That's a shame

[bl968]

66. Yes his endorsement will help

I lost all respect for him a long time ago and this just seals the deal

The shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., have stirred up a slew of gun-control sentiment in Hollywood.

But an actor who stars in perhaps the most gun-heavy movie of the season says that an abundance of firearms in this country isn't necessarily the problem, and that reducing them isn't automatically the answer.

"I don't think it's about more gun control," said Samuel L. Jackson, who stars as a conniving house slave in Quentin Tarantino's upcoming revenge fantasy "Django Unchained." "I grew up in the South with guns everywhere and we never shot anyone. This [shooting] is about people who aren't taught the value of life."

Tell that to a parent who has lost a child to gun violence...

[nyabingi]

69. The only reason he gave for supporting Clinton

is that he thinks Bernie can't win the White House in the general election (which is a silly notion). He didn't say anything about he ideas and policies being the determinant and I think the Hillary supporters clapping and cheering this endorsement should note that fact. What Samuel L. is offering is a bandwagon endorsement, or something like "I'm a Panthers fan because they're 14-1 and appear likely to do well in the playoffs".

If Bernie wins the nomination, Samuel will being voting for him.

[fbc]

73. Exactly, his reasoning is wrong, and shows a lack of awareness

I'm sure the Hillary supporters would love for people to continue under this mistaken assumption, but it's not true and poll after poll shows it to be false.

[nyabingi]

76. Part of the pro-Hillary media's mind game

is to convince people that Hillary's nomination is inevitable, and it's working on some people.

I'm a Samuel Jackson fan, but I never believed he was a particularly conscious guy politically when not in front of the camera.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

80. He was politically conscious enough to be an usher at Dr. King's funeral at nineteen years old.

I'm a Samuel Jackson fan, but I never believed he was a particularly conscious guy politically when not in front of the camera.

He was politically conscious enough to be an usher at Dr. King's funeral at nineteen years old:

Samuel L. Jackson was an usher at the funeral of Martin Luther King in 1968, which led him to become active in the civil rights movement.


https://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/samuel-l-jackson

[nyabingi]

95. Haha!

Telling me he was at MLK's funeral isn't telling me anything about where his mind is today. I'm sure there were people at the funeral who were secretly glad King was dead, but they'll be the first to say they were there today.

Samuel L. just seems like the kind of guy who's going to be for whomever he feels everyone else is for. Like I said to another responder, he's not on the same level as a Danny Glover or Harry Belafonte - Samuel L. plays it safe. I think his heart is in the right place but if he's supporting Hillary and agrees with her positions historically on the issues (before she changed them), then I definitely question his level of consciousness.

[1StrongBlackMan]

105. Please stop ...

First, being an usher at Dr. King's funeral is a little more than him "being at MKL's funeral" ... But more, you continue to make a judgement on the man's "consciousness" without ever having met him; but rather, because he has endorsed a candidate that you have never met ... that is laughable, if it weren't so sad.

[nyabingi]

116. We make judgments about people

everyday based on the information available on them and the way our own life perspective shapes our interpretation of that information. I, like anyone else, am allowed to form my own opinion of someone just as much as you are. We make the same judgments about elected officials every election cycle (people we've never met), so let's not play games and pretend as if I'm doing something intolerable.

I told you why I don't think Samuel L. is a very conscious dude, and you can accept it or not, that's your prerogative. Your problem with my critique of him is because you're a Hillary fan and I'm poo-pooing his celebrity endorsement. And if you think my critique is showing signs of sanctimony, then I'll admit to that criticism (especially the part about saying the n-word so much).

Or maybe you're taking my criticism of Samuel L. a little too personally?

[1StrongBlackMan]

118. And this is way NO ONE should accept your judgments about people ...

Your problem with my critique of him is because you're a Hillary fan and I'm poo-pooing his celebrity endorsement.

You are pretty poor at reading the available information ... I am NOT a HRC fan or supporter (though I will vote for her, should she be the nominee) and I don't give a much (any) weight to celebrity endorsement, and have said so repeatedly.

I just have a problem with people making moral judgments about people they have never met based on their celebrity personas ... it is shallow and sanctimonious.

[nyabingi]

122. Yet you feel you know me well enough

to judge me as shallow and sanctimonious? OK haha.

I know a lot more about Samuel L. than you do about me.

[1StrongBlackMan]

123. LOL ... So now, you're the victim. You'll fit in with DU: 2009 to the present, well! eom.

[nyabingi]

124. I'm not claiming victimhood

just pointing out your hypocrisy my friend.

[1StrongBlackMan]

125. Yes ... while ignoring the log in your own eye ...

like I said ... you will fit in well here ... well, at least until the Democratic primaries are over.

[1StrongBlackMan]

84. Ohhh? ...

I'm a Samuel Jackson fan, but I never believed he was a particularly conscious guy politically when not in front of the camera.

Have you encountered him when he was NOT on camera? He is very active by a list of the groups/charities/organizations that he supports ... and, oh yeah, he seemed pretty "conscious" to me, when after the round of golf I referred to earlier, he stopped a drunk guy from harassing a waitress and when he asked why there were so few Latinos and Native Americans on the resort staff.

[nyabingi]

94. Of course I haven't encountered Samuel L. when he's not on camera

but I can judge from what he says and does on and off camera to determine his level of consciousness.

By looking at how conscious he is, I'm not talking about how "active" he is in his charities and other things. I'm talking about how deeply he's looking at the issues, if he's really digging below the superficial information that is peddled on our mainstream media, if he's really seeing the broader, more expansive picture than what is painted for us by the NYT and CNN. I've always felt that he was "down" to a certain extent, but it was only shallow. Compare Samuel L to someone like a Harry Belafonte, Muhammad Ali, Danny Glover, or even a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and I think you can see what I mean that he's not quite on that level of consciousness.

Plus, any Black man who'll agree to say the n-word a hundred times in his movies can't be very conscious - that has always bothered about him (and any other Black actor of celebrity who does).

[1StrongBlackMan]

98. So you know nothing about the man; but, judge his levelof consciousness ...

not by what he does. i.e., the programs/organization/charities he supports; but rather, by "any Black man who'll agree to say the n-word a hundred times in his movies can't be very conscious". How sanctimonious of you.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

119. I have a question, sir.

Why is it seemingly okay for rappers who have endorsed the Vermont senator to use the n-word with abandon but it is verboten for an actor who has endorsed Hillary Clinton to use the n-word, especially when the latter is acting ?


Thank you in advance.

[1StrongBlackMan]

120. Because ... well ...

one feels the bern, and a prime mover in the Black community; while the other, is "just a two bit actor", that has done nothing for the Black community ... to hear DU:Bernie, tell it.

[gordyfl]

78. If you Repeat Something Over and over...

Yes, and as long as she keeps repeating that this election is about her and Trump, people will jump on the bandwagon.
That's probably why Hillary supporters keep repeating polls, over and over again. They want us to jump on the supposed bandwagon. In other words, "Get in line."

Republicans have been known as the Party whose voters normally "get in line". This year things are different. Jeb can't even get out of the starting gate.

Remember how many people were saying "No way!" to a Bush vs Clinton election? Republicans have so far rejected "establishment politics". Dems are still insisting that we get in line behind the establishment candidate. We'll see what happens.
