The consequences of believing there wasn't "a dimes worth of difference" between Bush and Gore? She has zero credibility. Her 15 minutes were up after Bull Durham.

I don't know Sarandon stayed so polite and nice with him while he tried to Hillary shame her.

I'm not to familiar with this Chris guy but it seems like he's trying to make a name for himself.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video

Kind of reminded me of a 6 year old. Please, please, won't you say you'll vote for Hillary? You won't? Really?

She was not only early and vocal in opposition to the Iraq War, she is now saying out loud what many Democrats are thinking--including this one, 50+ years as a Democratic Party voter, supporter and activist: that Clinton is so corrupt and so tied in with horrible warmongers (Henry Kissinger, Robert Kagan), we don't think we can vote for her.

It's just too much. She's not even a moderate any more--a Turd Wayer--she's an outright, bought and paid for, Corporatist. Her dirty deals as Sec of State to elicit big donations to the Clinton Foundation may be more indictable than her sneaky server (which she was using it for). And her association with Henry Kissinger is UNFATHOMABLE. He's the guy who not only presided over the slaughter of ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Southeast Asia, he also was overthrowing democratic governments in Latin America in favor of fascist thugs, torturers and mass murderers!

Henry Fucking Kissinger!

And don't get me started about Robert ("Project for a New American Century&quot Kagan, the chief neo-con!

Clinton's advisers.

How fucking much can I take?

The Democratic Party establishment has not given a flying fuck for my views for 40 years! Yet I loyally hung in there, voting and hoping. What else could I do? What else could anybody with a conscience do, seeing Reagan start to dismantle the New Deal and Bush I start up the war machine again, with all greedy eyes on ME oil? Then we had the Clintons' Turd Way and that was a pile of shit. Then Bush II, and complete dismantling of the U.S. post-WW II world peace consensus, along with the Great Crash.

I never expected Obama to do much. (I listened quite carefully to his election speeches.) And I've been surprised, recently, by his peace initiatives--to Cuba, to Iran, to the ME, and with regard to the Colombia/FARC peace talks. I'm convinced now that he's doing these things to UNDO the tremendous damage that Sec of State Clinton did to U.S./Latin American relations (the Honduran coup), and with regard to the massive destabilization of the ME (Iraq, Libya, Syria). Clinton set us up for war. Obama is trying to leave a legacy of peace.

Clinton sabotaged Obama's intention to improve U.S./Latin American relations, with the Honduran coup in June '09, just six months into his first term. That was Kissinger's specialty--overthrowing LatAm democracies. And I think she sabotaged Obama in the ME. That was Kagan. She is the tool of these men. They expect to ride her back into the White House, to re-start all their wars.

HOW CAN I VOTE FOR THIS?

The Democratic Party establishment needs to understand that there is a SERIOUS rebellion in progress against these fascist, corporatist and warmongering policies. And if they force Clinton upon us--as the Clinton campaign and DWS have been trying to do, with dirty tricks (Brock), election rigging (AZ, at least), lies (many), stacked primaries, limited debate, buying superdelegates and other endorsements with Clinton Foundation money (from the Saudis, among others), and the rest of the shite they have been up to--they are going to lose half their voters. IF PEOPLE LIKE ME--loyal, old-time Democrats--are thinking we can't vote for this, what are Independents and young people thinking? And where will disgruntled Republicans go?

This is NOT my doing. Nor is it Susan Sarandon's doing. Nor is it the doing of all the voters who have defected from the Corporate Democrat, with more to come. It is NOT OUR FAULT that Clinton is so corrupt and such a warmonger. And whatever I decide, or Sarandon decides, in the end, as to the GE, millions of others are not going to tolerate this candidate.

In addition, Clinton's unfavorability numbers are unprecedented for a major party presidential candidate. She is not liked and she is not trusted by vast numbers of Americans.

Bernie Sanders is by far the stronger candidate for the GE. All indicators point that way. But we have to get by this corrupt Clinton machine to get him out there, where he belongs, putting a end to Trump, and re-establishing the White House as the peoples' house once again.

Sarandon is prophetic. She is speaking for millions of people. Clinton supporters have called her "contemptible" many times today on DU. But she is not that. She is not contemptible. She is simply telling the truth about what many, many people feel. It needs to be said. And the Democratic Party powers-that-be need to hear it. Prophets have never had an easy time. See Cassandra.

but the Burn everything down attitude is far too dangerous of a path with a possible Cruz or Trump Presidency.
Which is why Hillary Clinton is a bad choice to lead our party against either one.
Our party is basically trying to force us to eat our least favorite meal and be jovial about it.
Now try forcing the ignorant public to think enough to vote for a person they aren't thrilled about and see how that works out.
Worked like a charm for President Kerry, President Gore, so ya know its going to work for President Hillary Clinton.

"And this is a shot we're not going to have again in my lifetime. We have a candidate that is so morally consistent, whose judgement proves to be true but does it at a time when its not popular & its not comfortable. A candidate who's not taken any money from fracking or Monsanto or SuperPACs or Wall Street or (BigAg), which all of the other candidates have. And those are issues that are really important to me."

Me too!!

GO Bernie!!
