Voting is a joke anyway. I liked the video though. As long as it keeps Trump out of office, I'm good

To be fair, Trump has his own group of celebrities endorsing him, as well.

Mike Tyson, Hulk Hogan, Gary Busey, the cast of Duck Dynasty ...

Personally, I didn't like the comedy that they laced in this PSA.  Look, it's all fun and games to show the great chemistry they had with one another, but the tone was suppose to be serious and with a message, but then that's derailed when the focus was on how cool they all were and that's the driving force for the message.  The driving force of the message should be that it's important to vote, not the fact that these celebs were so cool and we had such a great time watching them. 

And why exactly are you deciding what their message was supposed to be?  I think their message was pretty clear.

The whole video was started with the message of voting and it's importance.  Then there was a beat change, a swerve of focus. At most the message was loaded.  But ultimately the message was an anti-trump message.  The anti-trump message wasn't supposed to be their message, but rather the importance of voting.  Which at the end of the video was second fiddle to an anti-trump message.  If the point of this video was an anti-trump campaign, then go at it at full speeds with no deviation.  Riding the back of voting importance is a slap to it's target audience and is clearly just there to hide what the focus of the video was for from the start.

What did you think their message was, since it's so clear?

Yeah, and that's upsetting as well.  But the difference here is the fact they rode pushing voting as the topic.  They go on to tell us that it's really important to vote, it's almost dire.  But at the end, it was an anti trump message.  Both sides are going to sling poop at one another, that's a given.  But this one video, this particular is just so bad because it condescending to its audience.  It's the old bait and switch tactic. 



I apologize for this ad. One the other hand I only signed up for the Mark Ruffalo parts and didn't say anything negative about the candidates

The importance of voting was not their message.  The importance of voting against Trump was their message.  They called him a racist that threatens the fabric of the country, referred to a potential Trump presidency as a nightmare, mentioned specific Trump stances they disagreed with (immigration/gun laws), an so on.  There wasn't much subtlety, hiding, or trickery involved here.  Just because they didn't yell "fuck Trump" at the very begining of the video doesn't mean it was "supposed" to be about anything else.

Please Watch/Share this video so it gets shown in Hollywood.

It'd be fine if they weren't pushing against Trump, or at least pushing against Hillary as well. This was a perfect opportunity to push Johnson.

Instead, the Marvel Cinematic Universe wants me to vote in a criminal who compromised national security over and over and over and lied about it. Hail Hydra, I suppose.

Well I'm glad you see it that way.  Just goes to show you know what you're talking about.  The thing is, not everyone is going to see that.  And honestly, I disagree with you about there not being trickery or subtlety in this video.  Because there is subtlety in what it's saying.  It's just that their subtlety is poorly disguised and sinking like a lead pipe.  If they were to put out a companion site that wasn't "http://www.savetheday.vote" or the sub header being "Save the day.  Vote.", then I would agree with you in that it was a simple anti trump message.  But as it is, there is an underlying sense that they want to use the topic of vote to push their anti-trump message and that alone is what makes the video disingenous.
