This new video wherein celebrities use a kind of milquetoast reverse psychology--Don't vote! Seriously, who cares? Don't vote...unless you care about the sick, civil rights, polar bears!--to convince young people to vote is exactly the sort of dreck that I explore in detail in the October issue of TAS. If there are people still totally unaware of the election and the issues after the last 18 months, then there is only one reason why anyone would want to herd them into a voting booth at the last minute--because they are malleable, susceptible to nonsense platitudes, and easy marks.
Hey, but when you're on the side of the angels, whatever it
takes is what is acceptable, right? You'd like to think these
people would be embarrassed on some level that they consider the
ignorant and uninterested such a vital constituency, but,
alas...
