Did I just awake from a coma and Sanders was elected President? What is this "we're not looking to keep " shit ?

[RandySF]

1. Good luck with that, Thelma.

Or was she Louise?

[octoberlib]

10. It'd be nice if she was more concerned about getting rid of McConnell than Pelosi.

What am I saying, she's not a Democrat and doesn't care. She's wealthy and if Trump wins again it won't impact her life.

[Demsrule86]

24. They never are...it shows the hatred they have for Democrats that we are always their targets.

We must never allow any but a Democrat to run in our party again.

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Sarandon does not speak for Senator Sanders.

[Demsrule86]

46. Yes she does

This was in 17...so yes he does and now there is another....who also has no chance.

51. wow, the author of that OP-ED is a bitter person, sheesh, and he is a rabid Pete baiter too

I am sure he hates Biden and most all others as well.

from the article

In a December 2016 interview, Pelosi confirmed she would preserve the status quo, claiming, “I don’t think people want a new direction.” At at a CNN Town Hall in February 2017, she again revealed her disdain for progressives, telling a millennial Sanders supporter who asked if the Democratic Party would embrace Sanders’ populist message: “Well, I thank you for your question, but I have to say we’re capitalists—that’s just the way it is.” Pelosi then embarked on a tone-deaf rant, arguing that the solution was to make billionaires and millionaires more empathetic. “We have to change the thinking of people,” she said. “The free market is a place that can do good things.”

49. Never should have allowed it in the first place.

If there is a plurality of votes, leading to a brokered convention, Sanders' lack of membership in the party and his attacks on the party should be factors in choosing the candidate who will represent the psrty.

Yes, his supporters would be furious and would sit out the election or vote for someone else. He might run as a 3rd party candidate. But we would lose with him anyway, so better to choose someone who does represent Dems

It's what Republicans should have done in 2016.

[Demsrule86]

67. He should never run as a Democrat.

I agree...if Sanders could win...it would be different.

[wnylib]

71. I would question it even if he could win.

Let people form their own party if they are not willing to join existing ones. Then they can negotiate for or against alliances with another party. But don't let a non party member hijack an existing party for their own ends.

[Sloumeau]

2. Apparently, some Sanders supporters live in fantasy land. :) nt

[musette_sf]

3. Dammit, Janet,

I'm done with you.

[Mister Ed]

17. "You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss" n/t

[DinahMoeHum]

35. Planet. Schmanet. Janet.

[hlthe2b]

4. I don't dare say what I'm thinking... but she surely isn't helping Bernie and his campaign with this

CRAP

[2naSalit]

5. She should probably

lay off the psychedelics for a while... maybe too much brain damage has been done by now.

[HarlanPepper]

6. Ohhhh a man bun.

[cherryinpa]

69. Whats wrong with man bun?

[HarlanPepper]

70. Other than looking fucking ridiculous, not a thing.

[marble falls]

7. Susan Sarandon gets it wrong again.

[ucrdem]

8. Hollywood has-been and her nutjob hobby.

Doesn't she live in NY?

[octoberlib]

12. She's originally from Queens but I don't know if she lives NYC now.

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. I'll stick with the current speaker. We need her to deal with the Senate.

[Cha]

11. stein pusher, sarandon's Lies about Hillary and trump

helped Russia rig in the monster in the WH.

And, here she is trying to take down Nancy Pelosi, who helped get us the Blue Wave House Victory in 2018.. she can **** the **** OFF.

[Pachamama]

30. +10000

My thoughts and opinion exactly Cha...

[Cha]

62. It's exact REALITY of what happened

and what SS is trying to do again since she FUBARED Florida in 2000 with nader.

Wonder what Bradley Whitford is thinking of this latest from SS?

34. Sometimes I wonder if those 2 are in Trump's camp

Susie NJ. Kelly Anne NJ.

[dalton99a]

13. The Democratic establishment he's attacking:

[lapfog_1]

14. Apparently moderates and center left democrats are

no longer wanted in the "bernie" party of socialists and xxx-justice warriors.

[dalton99a]

16. Only true believers need apply.

[Demsrule86]

23. And yet one would have expected him to wait to show us how unwanted we are until after the General.

Can't help himself I guess.

[Croney]

15. We're not looking to keep you either, Susan Slopforbrains.

[peggysue2]

19. LOL!!

Like that moniker. Very appropriate.

Really? We're not going to keep the very people who with the majority of a single House have fought their hearts out to take on the Trump Administration and its criminal cabal? Instead, we'll purge the system with ideologically acceptable representatives because loyalty is as good if not better than skill and experience.

Hummm. Why does that sound familiar?

[rockfordfile]

18. Yeah she's un-American with Jill Stein? correct?

[wryter2000]

20. Why does she think anyone cares

About her opinions?

[BlueMTexpat]

21. Susan Who?

[Demsrule86]

22. Pelosi is a progressive but Sarandon is a fucking Stein voter...she has no say and never will.

[redstatebluegirl]

25. Just shut up Susan.

She is a good example of why a lot of us can't tolerate Sanders or some of his most ardent supporters.

[LakeArenal]

27. True that!!!

[LakeArenal]

26. Who is this royal "We" she speaks of?

I believe she is an out of work actress.

[still_one]

28. Sarandon does not help anybody

[apcalc]

29. Driving us off cliff after cliff...

[Retrograde]

31. I think we have one running in my district as well

CA-18, trying to unseat Eshoo. While she's not as dynamic as I would like, she does usually vote correctly and answers her mail in a way that suggests she actually reads it. I originally decided not to vote for the other Democrat in the race because his statement in the voters' guide made him seem rather jejune: reading his website later on just confirmed this.

[George II]

32. Who the F is "we"? Does she even live in CA or Pelosi's district? Last I heard she lived in NYC.

[NellieStarbuck]

33. Oh, Susan Sarandon, please STFU.

[mcar]

36. Fck SS

[EveHammond13]

37. I hate her. She has fucked us all.

[blue-wave]

38. Uhg!

After the bullshit from her during the 2016 election, why is she still relevant? In one statement she is attacking the Democratic Party, one of it's leaders and advocating for totalitarianism. Oh gee, just like Bernie?

[NurseJackie]

39. Susan Sarandon is a stupid woman. So stupid. So very stupid.

She's proof that you don't need brains to get an Oscar. What a disgusting woman she is.

[TryLogic]

40. Well this is disruptive and divisive.

[Moderateguy]

41. The lack of participation of Sanders supporters on this thread is disheartening

[HarlanPepper]

56. The silence signals agreement to me.

No other conclusion.

[Mersky]

42. Oscar Mayer type logo and sarandon rapping on twitter

Seem like poor decisions from an upstart candidate. Is bologna nobody needs.

I’ll send a contribution to Pelosi - she doesn’t deserve this noise, especially, this year.

[NurseJackie]

48. Definitely stolen from Oscar Meyer... and what's with the fist?

Is that something sexual? Or violent?

[Mersky]

50. To 'signal' he fights for the downtrodden...

In the worst way and at the wrong time.

[NurseJackie]

53. 2010 Called... it wants him to return the man-bun.

[HarlanPepper]

57. I get a wizard vibe from the whole look

[Mersky]

59. I'm good with buns of all types

I can’t diss on that.

It’s his processed meat product rip-off on top of his self-serving, piss poor prioritizing that gets at me. I mean, why Pelosi? Why this year of all years?

[NurseJackie]

60. Vanity. Purity. Hatred.

Pick one. (Or more.)

[Mersky]

61. Indeed. Ugh, they need to get real about what's at stake.

[Retrograde]

65. The fist? Signifies he supports the proletariat

at least in theory: actually getting to know any of them may be another thing altogether. It also signifies that he knows more in theory about what The Masses need than you do, and that he is more politically pure than other candidates, and is uncompromising when it comes to his positions. Or it could signify that he's still stuck in the late 60s/early 70s.

To me, it signifies "Do not vote for this person".

[TNNurse]

44. With apologies to my late mother.

Fuck Susan Sarandon, she helped elect Trump.

[Demsrule86]

47. And helped to defeat Gore.

[HarlanPepper]

58. She also was all in for Edwards in 2004 and 2008

I’m not terribly impressed with Susies instincts to be honest.

[Cha]

63. SS is Batting ZERO.

[HarlanPepper]

72. She's a terrible person.

I saw yesterday that she posted a video from her chauffeur driven Mercedes on twitter talking about "revolution."

What a phony.

[Demsrule86]

66. I despise her...watch nothing she is in...rich spoiled person with no humanity...

[mzmolly]

45. So says the vocal Nader supporter.

[Fresh_Start]

52. Susan has a way of not just being wrong...but really shockingly wrong.

"The former “Thelma and Louise” star said voters are being “fed” a message that Mr. Trump is “so dangerous” when his promises on illegal immigration amount to a wall being built.

[MontanaMama]

54. Who is the "we" that that ratbag is referring to?

Everything Susan touches dies.

[showblue22]

55. This kind of stuff X1000000 if Bernie is president.

Think about your primary vote.

[book_worm]

64. She's delusional.

[ibegurpard]

68. Pelosi's not going anywhere unless she chooses to

She won't be caught asleep at the wheel. Stop giving Susan Sarandon the power you seem to think she has.

[Mickju]

73. She can go fuck herself.

She is the last person I would ever listen to. She is causing great harm and also has in the past.
