- Actress Jane Fonda, 81, canvassed door-to-door in Scranton, Pennsylvania on August 4 to speak to local voters in the swing state
- She went door-knocking with Working America, a political non-union workers' group that canvasses to persuade voters to support labor-backed candidates
- Fonda said she canvassed because she's 'scared for our democracy'
- She recounted speaking to dispirited Trump supporters who weren't well-educated on his policies
- The actress says meeting voters face-to-face is the best way to educate them about political policy and help them make informed votes
- Fonda says the only way to resolve the 'mess' in D.C. is to 'outsmart the Facebook algorithms and digital foreign meddling by holding face-to-face conversations'
Actress Jane Fonda reveals she's 'scared for our democracy' and to raise political awareness for the upcoming election she rolled up her sleeves and went door-knocking in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
Though she has two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and immeasurable accolades to her name, the 81-year-old returned to political activism earlier this month to canvass for Working America in a working class neighborhood in Scranton.
There, she spoke to disgruntled voters who to open up about their political views, their concerns in the upcoming election, and to educated them about Trump's policies.
'I’m scared. I’m scared for our democracy, for our ability to live together in community across lines of race, class and religion. I’m scared for my grandchildren and for the planet. The country is contorted and polarized, with the flames of hate fanned by leaders at the highest level,' she revealed in a Washington Post op-ed.
But she was surprised to realize just how powerful speaking face-to-face with voters can be.

Hanoi Jane should have followed her brother Peter a few weeks ago, this would have made a tiny piece of this Country a little greater...

Unfortunately for the American Traitor B*tch, she found only energized and clear-thinking Trump voters...with jobs.

Umm, Hanoi Jane - we are not a democracy but a representative republic so get your traitorist backend off the streets of America that you hate so much.

Facebook algorithms are structured to bring huge advantage to the globalist agenda.
Facebook algorithms are on your side, Jane.
So the question is why are you engaging in opposite-speak?

Some activists are completely unaware of the occult foundation of the globalist agenda.

My favorite cadence. Still sung loud and proud at least in 1991. (Not sure if it flies today.)

How I would like to see her at my door. The timing of her knocking and my throwing out the three gallon bucket of warm horse piss would be surreal.
