13. Of course she did. It was Trump who tried to 'Defund the Police'.

She's just a hollywood celebrity actor afterall.
"Donald Trump and the Republican Party spent years trying to defund federal programs to help local police departments."

The hypocrisy of what she says & what she actually does is a joke.

Sarandon had no trouble calling the NYPD when her Manhattan apartment was burglarized in 2014.

7. Susan really goes out of her way to give progressivism a bad name.

She reminds me of those Westboro Baptist Church goons who would picket gay funerals, screaming homophobic slurs at mourners. One might conclude Sarandon is just trying to provide outrage talking points for conservatives.

I believe that's why fringe and third-party "progressive" candidates have received an abundance of financial support from the GOP (and Russia). It's just another example of how (for a price, and for personal gain) people are willing to do and say things that create an atmosphere of negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

The level of criticism and contempt given to her is NOT an indication worthiness. She is a DANGEROUS WOMAN and she must be squelched and rebutted every time she opens her stupid pie-hole!

Her sense of reality has slipped.

Doesn't she want some kind of revolution? Poor people are supposed to rise ip against the 1%? Or something like that.
