Celebrities who support Democratic candidates

[ellipses84]

Inspired by the tons of emails I’m getting from Martin Sheen this week.

My anxiety about the midterms is getting more intense by the day. Let’s have some Friday Fun and name all the celebrities we can think of who are vocal about voting, who have shown public support for Dem candidates and policies or who are actively campaigning for them.

We have been joking about how I’m now friends with Martin Sheen, but my H isn’t. A robotext even came in and my phone identified it as “Maybe: Martin Sheen”

It doesn’t sway me, I was voting dem anyway - but it does make me laugh.

[gretchenindisguise]

I also got a my friend text from James Carville. Good to have powerful friends, but I’ll admit I am having more fun with Martin Sheen.

Iliza Schlesinger comes to mind. I just watched her new Netflix special and she was very vocally pro-choice.

I’ve been getting a lot of John Legend emails and texts lately.

Harry Styles put a Beto sticker on his guitar for his Austin concert, endorsed him on Twitter and posed for pics with him at the concert.

Lady Gaga spoke out at her Dallas concert and encouraged people to vote Blue. Some people walked out. The cognitive dissonance a Lady Gaga fan + current GOP platform supporter must have…

[ellipses84]

Common is campaigning for Stacy Abrams, knocking and doors and calling Stacy on speakerphone to talk to reluctant voters with him.

I don’t know if she’s been vocal this election cycle, but Karli Kloss has been a loud and proud Democrat and she’s married to a Kushner. So that just makes me lol about how awkward family holidays must be.

Willie Nelson has (or had not sure if he still owns it but it still bears his name) his own brand of bio fuel that he runs his tour vehicles on, called BioWillie.  Just a fun fact.

Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki/Misha Collins (SPN) are all in for Beto (or they were when they were still making their show, I doubt they've changed their stance)
