If by "good video" you mean yet another irritating, patronising video that assumes that people will do anything a celebrity tells them to, then yes, it's good.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good message and more people should be voting, I just hate it when celebrities get preachy like this. It makes me cringe to see them doing their serious, thought provoking message spiel.

We are all so complicated, and then we die. We are a subject one day, with our vanities, our loves, our worries, and then one day, abruptly, we become nothing but an object, an absolutely disgusting pile of shit. We pass very quickly from one stage to the next. It's very bizarre. It will happen to all of us, and fairly soon too. We become an object you can handle like a stone, but a stone that was someone.

But if they don't do anything, they get criticised for that, as well. At least they're making an effort.
I spelled criticised so you'd feel at home.

Do they get criticised for that? I've never noticed anyone complaining that Celebrity X doesn't impose their political views on the public enough.
Thanks, I appreciate the solidarity. English (U.K.) forever!

I think they receive criticism if they're apathetic. They're not overtly supporting either party (although they certainly lean left), mainly just trying to get the younger generation to vote.
Not everyone is as politically aware/active as you and your boy-toy.

There's nothing wrong with being apathetic, I certainly am. It's a problem for the political system, definitely, but apathy is the effect, not the cause of the problem.
It is dumb how young people don't vote enough, but if all it takes is a video with Jessica Alba in it to get them to do it, then I question their choice. What it comes down to for me is what's better: a high turnout but with a high number of uninformed voters, or a low/medium turnout with more informed voters? Neither satisfactorily represents the true opinions of the people, but I think the latter is at least more stable.

I don't know about that "not overtly supporting a party" thing. "do you support gay rights? do you think everybody who's sick should be taken care of?" that's, uh, pretty overt which party thats supporting.
to me, these things always come off as "hey! I'm such and such famous (democrat) celebrity and I want you to go out and vote (democrat)! it doesn't matter what party (democrat), just as long as you're informed on the issues (social liberalism) that matter and really want to see change (get rid of those evil asshole republicans for good!) that really helps! so whatever your political views are (fuck all republicans), get out there and vote (as long as it's democrat).

I did not watch it, but this is pretty much word for word the response I was going to give regardless.
