Voting Rights!
How dare Sarandon harass her and call her a liar.

Maybe this example will open their willfully-shut eyes to the person they were messing with back in Nevada.
Dolores Huerta does more activism in one minute than a doped-up BernieBro does over their entire lifetime. Go ahead and hide this; it just draws more attention to it.

And the Berners keep blaming Hillary and the Dems for their crimes. They really need to understand who the real enemy is.
I'm so glad Hillary and Dolores and others are on it!
