In reply to the discussion: Fuck Susan Sarandon: If she'd (Hillary) won, we'd be at war [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,565 posts)She's wealthy......so that must mean she is....greedy, and only cares about getting richer. She is above that threshold of earnings, no matter how modest a household she grew up in, to now be allowed any say in the politics of her country. And besides that its all faux concern for those 'beneath' her. Its all pretend. But I'd then ask why? Why would she open herself up to such abuse from both the right and now the left for people or causes she cares nothing for? Just logically this makes no sense, let alone emotionally or career wise.
I wonder how much Hillary was worth at the time? How rich is too rich to be taken seriously? Sorry but that is a dumb argument and totally derails your argument further.
And that video was in a room full of loud voices and passionate people. Everyone had to speak loud to be heard. But she was "shouting" at her? What I saw was Susan trying to get across how disappointed she was at Dolores' endorsement of Hillary in a loud raucous room. Reiterating why she felt that way. No she is not perfect. I disagreed with her not, in the end, endorsing the Democratic nominee eventually. But I admire that kind of passion from the left. And I think she is right on most issues. And is a brave voice in Hollywood. So sue me.
But I know this thread is not a friendly place for nuanced discussion. And I'll never win here. I just wanted to squeeze in an alternate view. But for some its black and white, us and them. Only now its us and them on the left as well. And Susan is a sinner who must be not only ostracized but hated for being an activist, that the camera followed because of her celebrity, and dared to openly wish for a more progressive leader than what was finally offered.
