Susan Sarandon feels that there’s really no comparison between Bernie Sanders, whose candidacy is some kind of heaven-sent, once-in-a-lifetime event, and the profoundly sullied, corporate-moneyed Hillary Clinton, who’s “not on the right side” of things. Sarandon’s assessment is more correct than not and I’ll never be ecstatic about Clinton’s candidacy, but I’m definitely voting for her. Put it this way — it’ll be nihilistic to not vote against Trump winning. Not a happy situation, agreed. Sarandon may not admit this, but if Bernie were to capture the Democratic nomination (which can’t possibly happen) he would be George McGovern in ’72.
