Liberals supporting Hillary Clinton are becoming increasingly worried that millennials are not going to vote in this election. A pro-Democrat Super Pac unveiled a new campaign ad on Wednesday entitled “Save The Day” featuring a few big name celebrities including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, James Franco, and Don Cheadle.
In a hopeless effort to win over young voters, celebrities participating in the ad tell millennials that their vote counts and it’s important to go out and vote on November 8th for Clinton, otherwise their interests won’t be served.
“You only get this many famous people together if the issues, one that truly matters to all of us: a disease or an ecological crisis or a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society. Do the math.”
The ad continually mocks how many famous people are reminding them to register and vote, but, ironically, other than the names previously mentioned, it’s not so much a “who’s who of Hollywood” but a “who the hell are you?” The ad doesn’t have anything close to the celebrity power doled out for Obama’s re-election bid in 2012.
An Obama web ad high designed to target women voters, especially young women included a star studded group of female entertainers.
Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Beyoncé, and Kerry Washington were just a few of the A-list stars pushing the false narrative that Republicans were launching a “war on women.”
During Obama’s first run for the White House other celebrities including will.i.am, Common, John Legend, Nick Cannon, Kate Walsh, and Nicole Scherzinger participated in the iconic “Yes We Can” web ad.
While ads full of famous people don’t necessarily move the elections much and energize most millennials, they should at least try to include celebrities millennials want to see and be engaging. Clinton could take a few tips from Obama.
