Oh, right, the Susan who sold out her soul in 2016 on the premise of Trump having the capacity to precipitate a revolution in short order. Nice work, seeing where it's gotten us so far. I would suggest the term "disgrace" but it just doesn't go far enough.

I really don't care about Susan Sarandon. There are tons of democratic celebrities. Many of them have and will endorse candidates in the primaries.

Yes, it was awful that she did not endorse Clinton in 2016 but who really cares what Susan Sarandon thinks.

Nice attempt at deflecting on Beto

Beto will NEVER hire traitors to the Democratic party. If and when Beto realizes that he has mathematically lost the nomination, Beto will concede and ACTIVELY campaign for the nominee. Beto will not attempt to defeat the nominee in order to get a second shot in 2024.

Period.
