General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Dear Susan Sarandon: [View all]synergie
(1,901 posts)with right wing talking points that she was apparently unable to learn were basically BS.
She's not sticking with progressives, she's literally helping the R's by promoting their talking points and pushing their divisiveness.
Bernie may be your hero, but he's irritating many by the things he's saying, so he's not "our" hero, he's the guy who's trying to excuse the racism of Trump voters, that's not heroic in my book.
She's not a hero either, and applause is not really a measure of anything other than carefully selected studio audience, it's also how Trump operates and not really what we need in our political discussions.
I think folks need to come to grips with the fact that our Candidate, the one who was the 1st woman on the ticket for a major party, and who got the majority of the vote by MILLIONS, despite all that stacked against her and so-called progressives actively working to elect Trump when they didn't get their way. We're not "moving on", we're fighting, we're resisting, and we're really tired of these meaningless words parroted by people who literally have no clue about anything, being touted as progressive activism. Yelling "establishment" and "corporate" is how people were conned, it's how we got Trump.
We are fighting on, not moving on, and we're not letting people who don't understand basic words or civics and who have trouble with facts preach to us what progressive means.
Less divisiveness, more actual Resistance, join us in the fight and be Indivisible with us, leave actresses who have terrible track records and whose sole aim is to divide, behind. Let them figure out that their hero lost and figure out how to put that behind them and move on with the progressives who have no time for this ridiculousness. Enough with the not-so-friendly fire already, we've got work to do.
