Tim Robbins...

Actor Tim Robbins on Monday afternoon rallied supporters of Bernie Sanders on the eve of the Wisconsin Democratic primary.
Robbins sought to address Democrats who "feel Bernie in their hearts but are supporting Hillary with their pragmatic brains," saying that "these are not bad people."


"We've all been fed a steady stream of simplistic propaganda that furthers the establishment's narrative that Hillary's the presumptive nominee," Robbins said during a rally in Green Bay.

"And if we were sheep, if we had gotten in line, there'd be no problem now," he continued, saying "establishment figures would get elected" and figures like Sanders would be "marginalized."

"Times have changed," Robbins said. "We are done with compromising our ideals."

It felt as if 45 years went by with increasing frustration watching the decline of a nation.
