Susan Sarandon still can’t admit we’d be better off with Clinton as president

Susan Sarandon is back in the spotlight for her politics again, this time doubling down on the fervent anti-Hillary Clinton position she took during the 2016 presidential election.

In an interview with The Guardian published Sunday, Sarandon discussed feminism, her vote and backlash she's sustained from the left for speaking out against Clinton. The interview seems to suggest that, while all of Sarandon's other political perspectives and stances are rounded and nuanced, Clinton remains an inscrutably hard line for her. Seriously, she can’t admit that we would be profoundly better off with Clinton in office.
