Principles

If you're like me, there are few things in this world more cringe worthy than watching celebrities discuss their political views.  They spend a whole lifetime honing a craft--music, acting--to perfection and it doesn't really leave a lot of time to become an expert on politics.

And it usually shows, oh, the minute they open their mouths.

Such was the case last night when liberal stalwart and Academy Award winning actress Susan Sarandon appeared on the Chris Hayes show on MSNBC stumping for Bernie Sanders and announced she wasn't sure she would vote for Hillary Clinton if she won the Democratic nomination.  She also defended those Sanders supporters who are claiming they won't vote for Secy. Clinton, either, as standing up for their principles.

As one who lives in Michigan, who has seen children poisoned in Flint, our prisoners sexually assaulted and fed maggot infested food by private companies hired by our government, our mothers, wives, and daughters forced to buy rape insurance, and our schools crumble while our "leadership" implemented their "run state government  like a business" ideals to disastrous effect, I'm pretty sure I can honestly say that there is nothing principled about standing on the sidelines while republicans win all three branches of government and make life markedly, horridly, and disastrously worse for ordinary Americans.

You might say it's a real world Rocky Horror Picture Show.
