Has Susan Sarandon said anything about the state of the US in 2020?

Has she commented on how happy she is that so many many folks have died? That the economy is ruins? That civil rights, of all sorts, are in mortal danger?

If anyone has any quotes from this fool in relation to 2020, please share.

But will in future go back to third party "free from corporatist and Wall St. influence, so that next time it's not a choice between the lesser of two evils." Truth to power blah blah blah blah.

"Actress Susan Sarandon has found herself in the midst of controversy after she said that she supports those who plan on voting against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the upcoming November election. Sarandon made the remarks, sparking plenty of backlash, on Tuesday after she applauded Ryan Knight spoke up about his decision not to vote for Biden."

"While those tweets garnered plenty of reactions, Sarandon's own support of them drew plenty of backlashes as well. In fact, the single tweet drew so many responses that Sarandon’s name began trending on Twitter. Scroll down to see how people are reacting."

Trump only cares about himself and his reelection, hence played down the virus which led to the deaths of many.

Sarandon only cares about her revolutionary fantasies and doesn't care how many have to be sacrificed in the process.

in US politics it is so reasonable that you are very concerned about what she has to say.

She and guys like Ryan Knight just don’t get it. In our winner take all system, a de facto duopoly has emerged. Voting third party (or staying home) is, in effect, voting for the other pole in the duopoly. Susan and Ryan voted *for* fascism when they voted Green, as they had to know who Trump was and the damage he was capable of (nothing about Trump’s actions or statements surprise many of us, including myself, we saw it coming).

The battle is in the primaries. When they are over, everyone left of center should, if they’re voting in their best interest, vote for our candidate.

To pull the party left, do the hard work of running for office at the local, state, and federal level. The path to success is built by electing more Sanders to the Senate and more AOC to the House. The path left requires we take the long walk through the institutions (I forget who said that) - Gramsci’s “war of position” a necessary precursor to a “war of maneuver”. What Sarah and Ryan and their ilk are doing is unsophisticated, immature, and doomed to failure.

for the never Hillary crowd that helped give us Trump and the most right-wing court in the industrialized world.

Sarandon certainly did everything in her power to convince people that Hillary was worse than Trump, something she has never admitted was wrong. It's not unreasonable to think she may have influenced some voters, and in MI two votes per precinct determined the election. The Stein voters were more than enough to turn the election, and Stein's totals were higher than previous Green Party results.

In fact it’s possible she is better off under Trump in both cases. Tax breaks and white privilege have been very very good to her.

You think she gives a fuck about the rest of us?
