42. I completely agree. . .but those are the ANSWER, burn it all down, "Two parties are the same"

nihilists. Even without Sarandon, I believe they would have voted Stein, since they are more at war with the Democrats (who they feel betrayed them for not taking up their fringe left wing platform) than the Republicans (who are against them completely).

I've dealt with those types. They do not believe in compromise. They do not believe in governance. They believe "you are with me, or I will harass you at all times," usually over one issue. I've run into those in my campaign.

No amount of taking to them will change their minds simply because their minds are made up and anything you say is turned around as an attack and as a verification of their idea that the Democrat is the bigger enemy than the Republican.

Some of what Sarandon says I agree with, most I do not. But I do not see how celebrities truly influence politics. It's similar to a celebrity endorsing a product. Just because they are endorsing it doesn't mean I'm going to buy it.

I may be looking at her a different way (and some may call it naive), but I will say this: If I win and go into higher office, like US House or Senate, or the AZ Governor, Sarandon will not be someone I would seek an endorsement from. Some of what she says, I agree. But she is too rigid in her beliefs. I view her a left wing version of the religious right that Barry Goldwater warned the Republicans to avoid.

I don't like absolutes, personally. There are always shades of gray. When I've sat down with Sarandon-types to talk, all I say is "convince me I'm wrong." It usually devolves in "you're just part of the problem" or "you've sold out to the Democratic Party" and it all dies.
