(11,175 posts)You write, "I'm going to hazard a guess that you share the OP's determination that multimillionaires like her not be questioned by mere citizens." That's a WHOLE lot of extrapolation from what I actually wrote -- and, not surprisingly, it's wrong. In one of the other hatefests, I wrote, "'Susan Sarandon supported Jill Stein and that was a mistake' is true."
You see, there are alternatives in between "Sarandon should not be questioned by mere citizens" and "Sarandon must be denounced every day on DU." It's possible to say that Sarandon made a mistake, and, having said it, move on. It's also possible to believe that, from the point of view of electing Democrats, the incessant dumping on Sarandon accomplishes nothing and is in fact counterproductive. Going out on a limb here, it's even possible to say, as I did in that linked thread, that (a) Sarandon made a mistake, and (b) telling malicious lies about her is wrong.
And, actually, someone using your name had, in this very thread, made three separate posts that were, to some extent, negative about Bernie Sanders. And, please, don't go off on this tangent that anyone who disagrees with you is trying to dictate what you can or cannot say. The proliferation of DU posts bashing Bernie makes clear that such criticism is permitted here. I'm merely pointing out that, while you have posted about Sarandon, you have in fact also posted about Bernie.
