This Election Cycle, at Least One Celeb Understood Voters Didn't Care What A-Listers Thought

When Vice President Kamala Harris took over the top spot on the Democratic Party ticket, not only did donations pour in, but so did celebrity endorsements. The A-listers included Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Springsteen, and more. But with the results now in the rear-view mirror, it’s clear Americans cared little for what out-of-touch Hollywood celebs had to say about politics. But one famous comedian realized that already, which is why she kept her mouth shut on the topic this election cycle. 

Sarah Silverman, the liberal comedian who was outspoken for President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, and spoke at the DNC in 2016, said she stayed out this year not only because of her tour schedule but also because she realized voters didn’t care much about the political views of celebrities. 

"I was on the road with this tour, for one thing. A lot of people asked me if I was going to make a video or something. But my feeling was that no one wanted to hear from celebrities right now,” she told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

"Maybe I was wrong," she continued. "I just focused on reposting thoughts from smarter people.”

She did say she had one regret this time around.

"There is one thing I wish I had done. In 2008, I did something called the Great Schlep where I told young Jews to tell their grandparents they wouldn’t visit them again unless they voted for Obama. I should have done something like that again," Silverman explained. "Not that it would have made a difference.” 

In 2021, Silverman expressed her disgust with the “elitist” Democratic Party.

“For something called progressive, it allows for zero progress. It's all or nothing, no steps toward, all or f***ing nothing,” she said, adding that she wasn’t sure if she wanted "to be associated with any party anymore."
