Watch that. This is really upsetting to me. They push the importance of voting, but back handedly are telling us to go their way. This is how Obama won his two elections and I guess the celebrity machine is at it again. You celebrities are popular, I get it, but between you and I and everyone else, your opinions are your own and mines are mines. Just because you have the power to go out there and push your personal agendas, well to me it's just selfish.
Remember, it's one thing to tell the importance of voting, it's another thing to whisper your personal believes on to others.

This happens every election, and it's not just done by a third party like the vid you linked, but the candidates bring celebrities into their campaign as well.
The only sad thing is that Drumpf chose Scott Baio.
He hasn't been popular since the 70's.
If speaking your mind when you have a following is selfish, then every reviewer of a game or movie for a popular platform is selfish.
Keeping your opinions to yourself because you may sway someone's oppinion is not a great idea either, because many people out there don't do their research until something motivates them. Every one speaks their mind, to different degrees.
Either way, who exactly are you worried about here? The voter who's opinion would be swayed from one candidate to the other because of a celebrity's opinion? Chances are that this person doesn't do much research to begin with, meaning their vote may already be ignorant from the start, and they may as well be decided by a coin toss.
I'm more interested in the voters who haven't done their research but may become sparked to do so. Not everyone who does will agree with the views of these people.

They weren't trying to win over Trump supporters. Just to make sure anti-Trump people are enthusiastic enough to actually go to the polls.
