Showing Original Post only (View all)Susan Sarandon: "all I know is that I just can’t live with myself if I don’t say something." [View all]
From https://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/susan-sarandon :
In an interview with The Independent, she commented on her activism:Sometimes I dont even understand the ramifications of what I say; all I know is that I just cant live with myself if I dont say something. Im aware that Ive become some kind of joke in terms of my activism but its not something I can worry about. You have to prioritize. And its not like my activism is something recent. I come from a generation where, growing up, if you had half a brain in your head and half a heart, you were automatically active.

Nader's popularity, like Sanders, is a result of the Democratic party disenfranchising its base.
