Just ones who have corrupted people so they vote to change system to benefit them. You know GOP people have a hard time with this too are you sure you are in the right party?

Bernie supporters as a rule don't hate wealth or the rich. They hate a rigged and predatory system that redistributes a huge amount of the wealth upward. Sorry if that's too nuanced for you.

Which she'd be watching from her mansion, not a scratch or a single change in her life, while many others fear a Trump presidency, and the devastating effect on their lives.

and she has every right to support the candidate she chooses.

I got over the whole celebrity endorsement thing when Patti Smith campaigned for Ralph Nader.

...and also a great admirer of Susan Sarandon both in and outside of the movies, I do agree with you about celebrity endorsements, they are over-rated.

I also separate the artist from their politics or their personal lives, mostly. Some cases are too egregious, it's always a matter of personal choice -- we all have things we can't stomach.

But with all that said, I am still glad when a celebrity speaks out on the issues, especially if they are well informed and a good spokesperson for whatever cause or politician they espouse. It is IMO a good example to all of us, that they care enough to speak up. This goes double if they are actively engaged in whatever cause or campaign.

Susie is another elite, wealthy, pro-lefty Nadarite. She is a terrible person.

She can watch the destruction of the world from her mansion.

Up on the issues, all of them, and thoroughly schooled Chris Hayes, who seems to be nothing more than a sell-out these days. She was wonderful, love her.
