Cool fact, she's really good friends with Lilly Tomlin. The literal personaifaction of crazy liberal hippie from the 60/70s who is still that crazy liberal hippie today.

Mad respect for Jane Fonda and her activism and the people she surrounds herself with.

We know who she is, she hasn't been relevant in decades and even then only barely so.

I'm just barely old enough to recall when Sir Mixalot alleged that Jane Fonda does not have a motor in the back of her Honda. I agree that she is not likely to make strong inroads with Gen Z.

So what do we do when the people in the halls of power don't have a heart? And the barriers put in place prevent anyone with a heart from getting elected?

okay but 2004 was sort of a wash, i can't picture keery doing much different besides maybe losing the war in Afghanistan faster

To my understanding, she's pretty reviled by boomers for being anti-war.

Depends on the boomer. Some people thought what she did was important and brave, but for the people who hate her it wasn't just that she was anti-war. A ton of celebrities were anti-war. It was that she flew out to Vietnam, embedded with the North Vietnamese army, and filmed what a lot of people considered anti-American propaganda.

I used to work in a machine shop where a bunch of the old-timers were Vietnam vets. I made the mistake of talking about Barbarella one day, and ended up with an earful about "Hanoi Jane," and her "crimes" against America. They absolutely despised her. For a long time after that they'd all take turns asking me how my communist girlfriend was doing.

She's the Queen of the galaxy.

She got canceled before that was a thing for protesting the Vietnam war.

Isn’t she that other lady from that Netflix show my mom loves?

(Which I also love but honestly not the best person for youth outreach.)

She used to be married to Ted Turner.

She's an actress that's been around for ages and ages. She's gotten a little more fame lately since she was on a TV show on Netflix that had pretty decent reviews.

She's also one of those folks that comes out every 4 years and does some political theater.

Doesn't diminish her message tho.

The only voice in America is money, and we don't have it. If our voice mattered we wouldn't be in several proxy wars, there wouldnt be 750k homeless, there wouldn't be 69% living paycheck to paycheck, there wouldnt be marginalized communities

If you deny a party your voice if they oppose your views on fundamental issues, they have to win it back. If you give it to them no matter what, they know they don't have to listen to you.

It is simple logic. But people have been throwing out all matters of logic, like denying Biden to be too senile for another term or saying it is okay to have him just be a puppet, as long as it is not Trump. And big surprise, pushing Biden away from another candidacy turned a sure Trump win into an open race.

Imagine what would happen if the Dems started to listen to the people instead of their AIPAC handlers and stopped the genocide, like the majority of Americans and especially American Jews want. They could win in a landslide. But continuing genocide seems to be more important than stopping Trump.

The only folks who have a voice are the rich donor class and groups like AIPAC.
