Enough with the scolding please.

28. Everyone who is an engaged voter has an "agenda"

I'm not here to defend Sarandon, other than to defend her right to her own opinion, and who she votes for. She never said "the 2 parties are the same" in a general sense. But that IHO one is not progressive enough, and one is bat shit crazy. But that the former, because it drags its feet on these issues for too long in her opinion, (like the Dakota pipeline for instance) does more damage than good, and more times than naught, ends up siding with the same corporate class that Republicans feed from and that already gets away with too much.

While I disagree with her not voting Democrat, because its just too important, and that it is dangerously naive to assume some glorious revolution will spring up from the Trump nightmare, by risking years probably decades, to recover from it. I think this is not the time for that. Maybe a third party would be viable some day, but not now.

But I see no problem with pressure from the left. It keeps the Dems on their toes. Keeps them focused on the issues that affect average people. We have an obscene media monopoly on the right, with their far far right influence. I see a need even, for those like Stein and Sarandon to push from the left. A healthy democracy needs that....IMO
