Please Vote

Early voting and mail-in voting have commenced in many states. Here in New York early voting starts today. After I vote this weekend, I'll be on the bus for some canvassing. If you are a US citizen and unable to vote early, make sure to be there on Tuesday November 5 at your polling place no matter how long the line. Most important election ever now that T**** and his constituents have long ago dropped pretenses and are saying the quiet part out loud. They want to turn America into a fascist racist Christian-Nationalist hellscape that aligns itself with oligarchs and dictators around the world and aren't even embarrassed about admitting they admire Hitler and Putin. Basically the movement is as anti-American and anti-Democracy as it gets. We were not designed to elect a king with immunity. That's not how it works and the founding fathers of all political persuasions would never stop throwing up if they could see what the GOP is currently backing. No excuses to sit this one out, people. Harris/Walz 2024. Let's go Blue Wave. 

Here are some picks of screen stars talking about voting and the election to tie this back into showbiz...

I'm voting for the first female president in the history of the United States. And she's really cool and  qualified, too.

PUTTING MY VOTE WHERE MY MOUTH IS

 Very happy to get to vote! I hope you do too! Me and my friends mailed some postcards, handwritten reminders to vote. November 5th is coming up fast! Also, you want to be involved in not only picking our President, but policies happening in your own backyard. Raising the minimum wage in my state was on the ballot, heck yes! Get to the polls and then get yourself a treat. You deserve it.

Martin Luther King said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Your vote is your voice!

 

And because you should always think locally as well, here's iconic Jeff Bridges singing the praises of Jon Tester in Montana...

Jon Tester is the real deal. He’s a farmer, cares about the people of this state, and is the backbone of Montana. Join me in supporting his race.

And finally, though she's not a big screen icon, she IS an icon. If you're not following RaeShanda Lias, please rectify that. 

Today we're here to discuss something that has a lot of you all confused. But I'm here to help. It's really very simple, let's check the board...

The funniest, smartest, most pointed, no bull-s*** influencer around. She has almost single-handedly kept me sane this election cycle and spoke truth to power and truth to single-issue idiots and  privileged third-party fantasists, too! 

Not only does she have a sharp political mind, but she lightens things up with hilarious asides about celebrity crushes, met gala shenanigans, life hack lists, and of course that intimate ever-watchable relationship with her flirty tuxedo cat "NutMegan Thee Stallion".  I could not love her more.

Now go make a plan for voting. xo

Welcome back once again.

In the UK we don't have much of this priveleged celebs telling us how to vote,we make up our own minds on who is the best candidate,at the moment we have one of out worst ever and that's really saying something.

If I lived in the USA I think i'd find it hard to vote for either person on the ballot.

I live in the USA, and there was nothing hard about the choice. If you look up “no brainer” in the dictionary, this election’s probably included in the definition.

October 26, 2024 | Registered CommenterFrank Zappa

I live in the US and this was the easiest choice in the world. I voted for Harris today. I have no investment in what celebrities say about voting, but if it gets more people to the polls, then great.

I wish people would vote based on the reality we are living in rather than the reality they wished they lived in. I get that no candidate is perfect, but when people tell me they can't stand Trump but aren't totally behind Harris and therefore have decided NOT to vote, it's completely infuriating.

October 26, 2024 | Registered CommenterAngelo

The possibility of a return of Trump to the Presidency has left me sleepless now for too many nights. Of course, we must support Harris in her bid.

I am flummoxed to see nearly 50 comments on the Oscar race and minimal discussion in response to the Presidential race. I hope the silence means that the TFE community has already voted and is waiting the final decision.

@Angelo-Well... when your put your faith in a system that allows the common moron to have a voice. You're pretty much fucked. I hate Dookie Tank as I don't want him at the office again as he did nothing in his presidency and he and his bitch Vance are going to make things worse. I don't have faith in Harris as I don't like the Democratic party as they're whiners.

Democracy should be abolished once and for all. Socrates was right about its many flaws. It can be bought. It can be manipulated and the last thing we need is a bunch of rich celebrities to tell us who to vote for while they still look down on us as a bunch of fucking peasants.

I'll let this man have the final say as he is a prophet.

Unfortunately, I can't vote, I don't even live in US.
But wherever I am, always supporting Harris and The Democrats.
And always againt Dumb-Trump.
It's the easiest choice in the world.
Vote Harris 2024! 🇺🇸💙 #VoteHarris #VoteBlue

Nothing like taking aim at "priveleged celebs" and then demonstrating your own privelege by claiming it would be hard to vote for either presidential candidate.

I live in a small but critical state and am always grateful to the celebrities who fundraise or spend time advocating for candidates here. We need every vote, and if a celebrity will lead someone to vote for my candidate, so much the better.
