After listening to Susan Sarandon, I fear the democrats will be so splintered about

the who was right primary thing and who was wrong. She needs to shut up and her echo she had with her. The factions will continue arguing and sabotage the much needed unity that the party desperately must have. The primaries and the election are over and if we do not proceed with a vision for the future, we are sunk. Jus get some new blood in there and start again. It is almost March and we are still debating who should be the chair, while the rethugs are already running propaganda ads. SMH, SCROTUS has so much junk that all the energy is being spent on his failings. The energy is needed, but also have another group working on putting us back in the game. Rethugs take advantage of distractions.

she voted stein and said trump was better than clinton in the GENERAL ELECTION.

she previously attacked gore and supported Nader . and she supported John edwards over Obama.

concern just mentioned looking at Sarandon and her side kick trying to set the agenda for what they personally want.

in a way that was powerful and extremely damaging to her future political value. This woman has absolutely no compassion for anyone. It was just an amazing interview.

I haven't listened to her statement or such, but she has every right to voice her opinions just as we all do (and one might note with a great deal of vigor both here and elsewhere). You may not like what she has to say or you may agree in someways, but there are all just opinions.

I remember the words from long ago. "I'm not a member of any organized political party.... I'm a Democrat." Will Rogers

They help elect the Republicans, attack Democrats relentlessly and are responsible for shitty legislation and now executive orders like United and of course most recently Trump's travel ban, and the potential repeal of Obamacare. And if the GOP raises the age of Medicare as they want to...they will be responsible for the deaths of older Americans...she is not a Democrat and must be ignored...screw her and all who think like her. Anyone who continues to attack Democrats like her is the enemy just like the GOP.

them. Our job is to minimize the damage caused by Trump by winning in 18 and 20...Susan's job is to give her wealthy, entiitled life some meaning. She can go to hell and any who agree with her can join her.

Democrats who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary in the GE are not worth unifying with. They've proven themselves to be unreliable allies. They are focusing on primarying Democrats rather than going after Republicans. Useless.
