And it's not just celebrities, of course. The assertion that Trump was going to usher in an immediate revolution was shared by many, but it's so laughable that I'm not sure how the adherents can be serious.

The record matters. Sanders has been pretty consistent.

I think a better question to ponder is why was Trump so successful at being a faux progressive if these ideas aren't' popular and everything was fine before?

That assertion is as laughable as it's always been.

he was elected because a lot of people hate Mexicans.

Just think about what your statement implies.

and gave his opening speech for his campaign, he was talking the wall and hatred of Mexicans and Mexico.

His campaign didn't talk about walking away from the Paris accord, tearing up NAFTA, tariffs on China, threatening war with Iran, or most of the crazy shit he has done since being elected. It was heavily weighted to anti-Mexican rhetoric. Now I live in California, and most of us get along well with Mexicans. We go to school with them, work with them, have them for neighbors, etc. But on a national level, it was easy for Trump to frame them as the bogeymen.

And my statement doesn't "imply" anything. It states that like it or not, this country is full of racists, and Trump is proof of that.

I WANT the Billionaire's off my back. Tired of the status quo. I applaud any candidates who address the fundamentals.

Go Bernie, go Warren, go Yang... and go Biden if he starts to get what common folks are coping with.

I know trump voters who are not racists. I KNOW them. They're reasons FOR voting for him are varied and a different story, but i see this thrown around all the time. Just like the GOP alwasy says ALL democrats are Socialists/communists. Silly.

More women voted for Hillary. I find it objectionable that you parrot Trump's repeated false claim here. Hillary won the popular vote by several million.

Like, real things he’s done, not just talking points or statements how he thinks things should be. How many votes has he actually attended this past legislative year?

of overpriced gym shoes or a soft drink? The hyperbole is hilarious. As for Spanky bringing any kind of revolution, well, he is pretty revolting.

Cusack's and Sarandon's pronouncements are just words, and meaningless.

Have fun doing it yourself.

Yes, I know about Colin Kaepernick and kneeling. Ever hear of TiVo? You can avoid commercials. Great invention.

can send me some of his money. Let's get this redistribution rolling!

MAybe I shouldnt' be but I still don't' expect it here.

are you referring to?

That's a pretty far cry from sounding like Joseph Stalin...

...really? Joseph Stalin?

where Cusack uses a powerful metaphor... feigned outrage here (unless you are in the .01%).

if tax dollars are invested in education, health care, and infrastructure.

doesn't merit a reply.

For the record, John Cusack is worth $50 million!

You don't read Chomsky and support Biden. Those are different worlds it seems to me. Bernie is the closest thing to the main stream you've had if you read Chomsky.

Biden is not a revolution.

As far as cussack goes... he lost it a long time ago

At least Cusack isn't... what, Messianic?

"Thank god Biden isn't a revolution" and not That god.
If the intent had been anything close to "That God Biden", the appropriate words following such a delusion would have been something like "He has been our guide, he's been our North Star, he's been our hope in a world...".

and what he is saying here.

The only connection to Bernie is Sarandon being butthurt about his loss.
It wasn't Bernie but Sarandon pushing with deranged arguments to vote for the Green party instead of Hillary, claiming that Hillary is a warmonger who would be worse than Trump. She's the one not affected by Trump taking over while dreaming about some kind of revolution (whatever that means in her mind) that we'd get faster under him. These are the major reasons why people here dislike her, it's not because of Bernie.

it is a cult, could be worse I suppose...


my since deceased husband told stories of partying and smoking weed with him in the back woods of Vermont, 40+ years ago,(my deceased husband was from NYC as well)

..we need to concentrate on the senate.

Who cares what these coddled celebs think. They have zero influence and to be fair- live in a bubble

It amazes me that people still,post about Susan Sarandon on a regular basis here.

Can’t image having any of those idiots living rent free in my head.
