It all started with a tweet from Deray McKesson about the future of the DNC and the various people who are running for Chairman. Seems he really likes this Perez guy …
I met with @TomPerez again tonight after the #DNCForum. I'm continually impressed by his experience & his vision for the party. pic.twitter.com/dCGAzjJCZP

Experience and vision, hrm, interesting.
Enter Susan Sarandon who has by all accounts been very consistent throughout the election. Sure, she’s a progressive but she’s been as vocal as anyone on the right about the nonsense going on with the Democrats … so huzzah.
Does his vision include reinstating Obama's ban on lobbyist donations to the DNC that Debbie Got rid of last year? https://t.co/SAYDVZAZNh

And in typical Democrat fashion, Sarandon speaking out of turn and calling out lobbyists was not met with much love …
I'm sorry @susansarandon, you blew your chance for influence. You helped elect Trump. Try humility for a bit, and then start sharing. https://t.co/QYkKBaEV9L

Hrm. She helped elect Trump.
Gosh Joan, we think that falls on Hillary, not Sarandon or others she couldn’t convince to vote for her. Your party doesn’t own anyone’s vote and until you figure that out you’ll keep losing.
Which is fine with us.
Oh, but Sarandon wasn’t having ANY of that crap:
Fine @joanwalsh, YOU influence then. I'm sure you'd agree a party that's lost >1,000 state legislature, gov & congress seats in 8 yrs (1/2)
— Susan Sarandon (@SusanSarandon) February 16, 2017
Ouch.
plus a winnable election, can't afford to maintain business as usual, right? (2/2)

And double ouch.
It wasn’t just Walsh who attempted to shut the ‘Thelma & Louise’ actress down, plenty of other tolerant Lefties were more than happy to attack her:
Bernie lost because he talked over black and brown people. Just like you are doing to @deray right now.

Wow. Democrats are eating their own.

And these folks wonder why they keep losing?
how's that protest vote working for you? Shut-up and let the adults work our way out of this mess.

Dude, cut back on the mansplaining.
@deray @TomPerez That's enough out of you! You and your minions have no say in our democracy! B/C of u we have Trump!

Awwww there it is. They still can’t own what actually cost them the election, and it’s this nonsense.
That and Hillary was really just an awful candidate, but this behavior from the “love trumps hate” crowd is what really hurt ’em.
Can’t fix stupid, Susan.
