I think the idea of a Donald Trump or a Ted Cruz presidency would be an unmitigated disaster for this country. I will do everything in my power and work as hard as I can to make sure that that does not happen. And if Secretary Clinton is the nominee, I will certainly support her."

ty!

Susan Sarandon is fucking dumb, but also nobody listens to Susan Sarandon so who cares.

Susan Sarandon voted in meaningless NY, so you are fucking dumb for caring.

Another valuable contribution, Morbs.

you are fucking dumb for caring

Yes, and...? Either your reading comprehension has gone to utter shit or you are willfully misunderstanding.

A thread.

Thread: With Bernie about to announce his second run for President, I wanted to explain why I don't support him. Before I get into that, I will say that if he wins the nomination I *will* vote for him in the general b/c I'm not an asshole.

Lol can you imagine how reviled Bernie would be in an alternate timeline where he mounted a third party challenge and "cost" Dem nominees elections

that thread is just a long retread of hoary old "he's not even a democrat," "this was all about his dumb ego," and "he should have dropped out at X unspecified time" material, which have all been worked over here ad nauseum since late 2015. bernie ran to shift the window and demonstrate that there was support for a labor/new-deal left nationwide, and succeeded massively. i wonder how many of AOC and her peers we'd be seeing in action in national and local office, or whether M4A would now be a baseline dem position, if the sanders campaign had packed it in when he was "supposed" to.

Yeah, that's p much what I think in my head every time someone brings up the "not a Democrat" line: "would you prefer if he ran a third-party campaign in the general?" xp to Simon

I know plenty of commies who wish he'd form a genuine workers' party and for the record they are also nuts and wrong

that twitter thread is very shitty, and so are all the responses

.@jeffzeleny reports on Inside Politics: @HillaryClinton is telling associates she hasn’t closed the door on a 2020 bid

The comparison of political parties to unions is incredibly disingenuous as well. And M4A was not the same policy HRC was running on. 2xp

Yeah. The whole thread rests on the assumption that the dem party was fine as it was and it was acting as an effective vehicle for economic and environmental justice. It wasn’t.

You need a “gadfly” sometimes, like that’s what people say about anyone who disrupts a status quo that isn’t working

If hillary runs again though then damn I’m impressed by her stubbornness. 2016 seemed like a torturous experience for her.

doesnt america need about ten actual parties before it can even pretend to start to work again

go for it Bernie imo

The fact that anyone remotely thinks “she lives in a safe blue state” is a good point re: Sarandon is revealing of limited mental capacity or dishonesty. She said Trump “wasn’t dangerous”. It’s wrong and questionable to not dislike her for that. You can just not your head (doesn’t matter how slowly or reluctantly) and say “that’s bad”. Go ahead *lobs the softball* She and everyone like her are going to be owned for that until they die.

Hillary isn’t running she would have had to be doing stuff by now she hasn’t done. It’s clickbait people fall for every few months

Susan Sarandon isn’t very influential. She is just a person with eccentric views.

Can we maybe stitch 8 candidates together. Just the good parts of each

who the hell is susan sarandon losing tracks of all these now

Xpost “It’s bad that she said that”. Go ahead, you can do it. She’s also obviously a synecdoche for people of everyone downplayed the threat of fascism. This isn’t hard.

Anvil definitely post more about how you don’t know who so and so is it what something is

er, ok, if you like!

who the hell is susan sarandon losing tracks of all these now

A very good Hollywood actress/prominent Bernie supporter who said Hillary was more dangerous than Trump.

thanks pal!

anvil, how old are you? I'm trying to figure out who doesn't know who Sarandon is.

also, she kicked in some money to the gofundme when my house caught fire, and was fantastic in such films as "thelma & louise," "witches of eastwick," "the hunger," "speed racer," etc.

Bull Durham

I googled her, I did know who she was from the photos I'm just not so good with names especially actors

I've never seen any of those films other than the bit of thelma and louise where they drive off a cliff and then it stops,

Seems a shame those women were politically misguided

it's good but i really gotta rep speed racer above all else, her big speech in that KILLS me

she kicked in some money to the gofundme when my house caught fire

Wait, is this real? This is great!

Very cool. I’ll bet susan sarandon is great and she should post on ilx

Yeah SR is wonderful. More and more people keep coming around to that it seems. Her and Goodman make a great on-screen couple

yeah i'm p sure it was the real sarandon. one of the housemates has a twitter following among the kind of brooklyn leftie circuit and it made sense that retweets of the call for donations wd show up on her screen i think. so yeah i am forever loyal. she didn't have to do that.

and yeah sarandon and goodman are basically the emotional core of the film and they naiiiillll it.

Nah she’s a bad person

When viewed cumulatively

my condolences that a nazi fixed yr house xpost

FPing right along
footloose and fancy free

sarandon didnt do shit for us after our fire

fuck her

well I did tell her it was a blatant insurance job, soz.

give it till sarandonseh till the end of the primaries

A cool thing would be if everyone coincidentally started coming forward with random good deeds sarandon had done for them. A quiet saint.
