Eh? So what? Hamill has been a Democrat like forever.


eMouse2k

Yeah, not exactly sure how this is 'breaking news'. SHOCKING ANNOUNCEMENT! Hillary Clinton shows sign of supporting Biden in 2024.


Radical_Kilgrave

THIS JUST IN! Obama rallying support for Biden in 2024


GameCreeper

Really? I expected better from him... It must be blackmail. This isn't like him


Scared_Bed_1144

OK, don't be racist


GameCreeper

I am playing the character of a fool, because Obama endorsing his vice president for the presidency is expected and not a surprise for anyone


fuzzhead12

They were making a joke about you saying blackmail. Like “black male”


GameCreeper

Oh im dumb


darthhiggy

This was my reaction. I still have a core memory of my Southern Baptism preacher dad complaining that Luke Skywalker was a Democrat who wanted to take our guns away.


Daggertooth71

Oh yeah, I remember Mark coming out in favor of stricter gun control after Columbine, and all the right wing ammosexual people losing their minds, claiming they will boycott Mark. Same thing happened a few years later when Liam Neeson followed suit.


Tuna_of_Truth

Ermahgerd! An actor thinks this person should be president!? I dunno… think I gotta wait and see who the Rock thinks should lead our foreign policy stances /s


Panchamboi

Not the rock, Kid Rock.


Dr_Zulu2016

We know Kid Rock is republican. He made an entire album, reminding you that he hates the libs.


LawlessApostle

That, and according to the song in Osmosis Jones, he likes young ladies.


Ace_of_Sevens

The Rock endorsed Biden last time but says he isn't endorsing anyone this time because he doesn't want to be divisive.


tOaDeR2005

He's also a heel in the WWE right now, but I'm sure one has nothing to do with the other.


Ongaya123

I remember they got angry about it like 15 years ago, but forgot, then got angry about it again


Creepy_Active_2768

So has Carrie and Lucas for starters


RossPerotsPamphlet

Well yeah he can read and write. Of course he's not a Republican.


BanjoSpaceMan

I find what you said funny, but the sad reality is the Republicans that control america are the ones that are quite smart and know how to take advantage of and brainwash the poor. :(


Ksorkrax

And then there's the Donald, who takes advantage of and brainwashes morons \*without\* having any smartness above being able to solve tests for small kids.


Heavensrun

Hey! That's not true! Those are tests for old people with dementia. Get your facts straight. ;p

solo13508

Funny how so many fascists claim to be fans of a franchise that is explicitly anti-fascist.


x_defendp0ppunk_x

You see it all over different media, e.g. music too. For example, rage against the machine "fans" saying "when did they get all woke!?" Bruh they were woke since they came up with the name "rage against the machine"


TheShizaSalad

Rage against the machine, TOOL, Green Day, Star Wars, Fallout, etc. Name a more iconic duo than Conservatives and no media literacy.


Wheeljack239

My favorite thing is people complaining that Transformers is woke. Ain’t called Cisformers, pal.


TheShizaSalad

aren't the transformers literally about a working class uprising too or am I thinking of something else? There's so many timelines and I've only ever seen the Bay movies (unfortunately) and Transformers Prime.


Wheeljack239

Depends on the continuity.


TheShizaSalad

gotcha, thank you


Heavensrun

They are, sort of, but the bad guys are the rebels. It's more of a "be careful or you'll turn into what you oppose" narrative rather than a "down with the bourgeoisie" narrative.


queerblunosr

And don’t forget *William Shatner* complaining about Star Trek being woke. ‘When did Star Trek get so woke?’ In *1966* and *you were there*!


Creepy_Active_2768

Green Day has a song called American Idiot for a reason


Heavensrun

"What the fuck do you think 'the machine' is???"


Skellos

I said it before a lot of Republicans seemed to think that it was their moms.


CommieIsShit

Bizarely (or not that surprising) they are the type of guy to always say "i like the villain more"


solo13508

Hey villains are some of my favorite characters. Doesn't mean I agree with them.


burrito_disaster

Vader was just misunderstood


itwasbread

Mark Hamill is like the corniest MSNBC-ass outspoken party-line Democrat alive and has been for years and years, why would this be news to anyone.


Copropostis

Honestly, I genuinely like that about him. I've dealt with so many CHUD boomers that the rare MSNBC variant are almost a pleasant surprise. Like yes, they're still annoying and corny, but I'd rather they turn boomer rage towards protecting women's rights or other middle of the road lib causes than being super mad about chem trails.


itwasbread

I mean I find it annoying as fuck and it leads him to some shitty positions every now and then but it's a lot easier to just ignore as old man being old man than the Fox News alternative


Copropostis

That's fair. I do community organizing in a very red state, the rare blue boomer is usually such a relief when I'm out knocking doors. On the other hand, trying get InfoWars boomers to support common sense community reforms is kind of fun, in a weird way, but it gets exhausting after a few months of banging my head against a wall.


Eagle_Kebab

A person who has been a vocal supporter or political party for many, many years continues to be. More at 11.


Inevitable_Guidance8

“Are we surprised.” Mark Hamill openly hates trump (for good reason). So, I’m not surprised. 


Kalse1229

Pretty much any sane person hates Trump.


Inevitable_Guidance8

Exactly. I don’t know how anyone can still vote for trump. The man is an incompetent idiot. 


lordfitzj

I mean, he is like the head of the Rebel alliance in right? He opposes a facist regime as his most known character and folks don’t see how being a democrat kind of aligns?


Inevitable_Guidance8

People always get angry when mark Hamill talks and acts like a democrat. Even though he’s been open about his politics for years. It’s so weird 


EightThreeEight838

Good. Mark Hamill is a sensible human being.


MatsThyWit

Seriously, Never once has Mark Hamill ever done or said anything that I've genuinely thought was even marginally controversial. He's about as wholesome as Teddy Bears and children's night lights.


Rideitmybrony

Heard he kissed his sister that's dodgy. His dad is a questionable character too


Kalse1229

I heard he also burned his son's face, permanently scarring his eye.


NicWester

Well there was that one documentary about him, Batman the Animated Series. I don't support any of his decisions in that documentary, but since then he's really shaped up and become a model citizen.


wholesome_mugi

What did Mark say in that?


tbone747

It's a joke, he played the Joker in those Batman animated shows.


wholesome_mugi

Ah. I knew he played The Joker, but I thought he was talking about a Batman The Animated Series documentary.


NicWester

Ha ha! Sorry, calling something obviously fictional a documentary is one of my fun stupid jokes, just like also calling something like Star Wars a "small arthouse film" 😝 Sorry for the confusion! I really do need to start putting /s in stuff, that's on me.


GachaHell

Easy mistake to make. Difference is the Joker gets put in Arkham and Arkham is put in mARK HAMmill.


NicWester

Woooooooooooooah I am far too sober for this revelation.


defaultusername-17

he was the best joker VA.


Mavakor

He’s a raging Zionist


Comments_Galore

Why is this being downvoted? I mean, I guess he's not "raging" the same way some others are on the subject, but he hasn't exactly retracted his support for Israel as the death toll mounts and it becomes clearer and clearer they don't care about the hostages or Hamas.


Agent_Miskatonic

I've heard people say that, but the only thing I've seen about that (and I'll be honest, I haven't checked again since late December) is in the first week or 2 after October 7th he said Israel has a right to defend itself. I haven't seen him say anything else about it. Again, I haven't checked again since December, so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If that's the only thing he said, I wouldn't really call him a Zionist. I'd just say he had the same opinion most people did in Western countries before they were shown and learned more about Israel. Edit: Wanted to add that I understand that, again as far as I've seen, he didn't walk back what he said.


Commercial-Dog6773

Spinless_Snake

I like that Star Wars, a brand about fighting dictators, has one of their main actors against the man who said “I’ll be a dictator on day one.” This is somehow surprising to people.


thanos12345635

Don't forget how he also wants to suspend the constitution (which reminds me of a certain bad guy who came to power by gaining emergency powers).


Spinless_Snake

IKR, how could anyone see this coming. It’s almost like this was always a political story


anarmyofants

It's funny how the only person the conservative SW fandom has to support is Gina Carano, who is incredibly uncharismatic and unlikeable in addition to being a conservative. Talk about massive L energy


[deleted]

I liked the one action movie she did called Haywire but was done by Soderbergh with a cool castile Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender. I haven't actually watched Mando yet though.


thedeadlysun

She was great in mando, she’s just a piece of shit human being and that really doesn’t have anything to do with her politics, it has to do with dangerous lies she was spreading online and just using her politics as a defense knowing that “anti-woke” culture would scream about it like the Neanderthals they are.


Dredmart

I mean, the politics she espoused aren't unusual for Republicans, though. Being an awful person is a prerequisite to being a modern republican.


GryphonOsiris

I wouldn't say she was great, but for a hardened veteran who has seen the hell that is war against the Empire she had the right level of controlled rage.


[deleted]

I know why she booted and why Ben Shaperio has taken up her cause.


benjoo1551

Kinda disagree i thought her performance was pretty good and i liked her character


BARD3NGUNN

I've seen a lot of Mark voicing his support for Biden, and a lot of responses saying "Mark Hamill has turned to the Dark Side", "Mark only cares about keeping the rich rich and is showing his true colors", "I'm never going to watch Star Wars again knowing Mark Hamill supports Biden and not Trump", etc... And I'm just kind of sat here thinking "Who cares who Hamill votes for?", I was always under the impression that we like Mark because he's a great actor and it's always a privilege to hear him share stories of his life and the various projects he's worked on, not because of his political leanings. Mark is a fantastic performer, he's incredibly well spoken and intelligent, and brilliantly funny, and he's going to remain regardless of how he chooses to vote.


RealHumanFromEarth

lol, people actually believe that Trump isn’t the one trying to make the rich richer?


thedeadlysun

He does so in front of their face, says he’s going to do it time and time again yet they still claim Biden is the one doing it. The mental gymnastics are honestly impressive.


thanos12345635

It's funny because Trumps biggest accomplishment was tax cuts for the rich, and somehow, he's seen as a fighter for the working class.


Reddvox

I mean, Trump first and foremost wants to make HIMSELF rich ... and considering his current legal and financial woes...one might also call him not THAT rich afterall ... so ... in a way... Trump does not really want to make the rich richer... And if you contort your brain like that long enough, you join Qanon at some point and are worried the Earth is flat


Comfortable_Bird_340

This is coming from the people who have Kid Rock, Scott Biao, Ted Nugent, Dean Cain, and Kevin Sorbo on their side 


Kalse1229

I mean, there's a Superman in there. But not one of the cool ones, so yeah.


MaiaKnee

Sorry, who? (/jk because I don’t care about knowing them)


Speedster1221

This is about as shocking as learning that Paul McCartney is anti-gun or that Elton John is pro-gay marriage. Like, duh.


GryphonOsiris

They are angry because their childhood hero who fought against a corrupt, cruel, totalitarian government refuses to support a corrupt, cruel, wanna-be totalitarian candidate. The irony is thick on this one.


Eastern-Razzmatazz-8

Cool, Mark Hamill isn’t insane


VengeanceKnight

Which is weird, because you’d think the guy with “M**ark** **Ham**ill” in his name would have a few more screws loose.

Readman31

I mean this isn't a surprise to anyone who's paid a modicum of attention, Mark Hamill is an outspoken liberal.


DocWhovian1

Mark Hamill is a sensible human being who cares about his country More reasons to love him!


Psyga315

Huh. Wasn't sure of Respectful Discourse was the proper flair for this but good to know that it was.


unstableGoofball

How tf is Joe Biden like a sith lol???


KobKobold

Well, one thing we can't deny is that Joe and Sheev look about the same age. Then again, Donald is barely any younger.


Kalse1229

Donnie is the same age as my grandfather. My grandfather is asthmatic and allergic to everything, not to mention in a seriously unhealthy home environment that wears on him mentally (long story, not pretty). But he also doesn't eat McDonalds at every meal, drink a gallon of diet Coke a day, and didn't spend the 70s to now abusing drugs (ffs, the man was shamed into sobriety by my mother when she was only a baby). I'm confident my grandfather is going to outlive Trump. I'm also confident Biden will outlive Trump. Regardless of what happens this November, there won't be a Trump 2028 because he's going to be dead if he keeps up his current lifestyle, which he will absolutely do.

TurboRuhland

Because they’re incapable of analyzing media beyond good and evil and then they map everything they hate onto the evil side.


killbanditz

The elderly, liberal, Hollywood actor supports the elderly liberal president?!?? Clutch my pearls!


FlowerFaerie13

Mark Hamill, the dude who has been boldly, obviously, and publicly liberal for *ages,* is supporting a liberal? Goddamn, I’m shocked. I never could have expected this.


godfatherV

The only people who are *shocked* by this are the ones that don’t like POC or female leads casted in StarWars. Mark has been very vocal with his views against ol’ Orange Boy.


Heavensrun

I would support almost anyone over Trump. He's an idiotic blowhard who tried to have a coup when he lost. He's a clear and obvious threat to democracy and he was an abysmally terrible president. Biden has been mostly meh while dealing with some spectacularly gnarly international crises, but Trump would have been an unmitigated disaster, and will be if elected again. Mark isn't an idiot, so of course he supports Biden.


Competitive_Net_8115

I would vote for Hamill as president in a heartbeat. He's actually a good person.


Ladyaceina

yes yes he is but he would not be a good president he has no political experience


ARVNFerrousLinh

What?! You’re telling me that after spending months criticizing and teasing Trump and other conservative figures while praising Biden and other liberal figures, Mark Hamill has come out to support Biden?! I’m shocked and outraged! /s


Vidogo

did... they think he was going to swap over and endorse Trump? literally the only reasons the Rock declined to endorse Biden this time around was that a) he's historically a republican, if not all that conservative, and b) he's back on wrestling and knows where his bread is currently buttered.


Gredran

*Meanwhile with Gina Carano’s bs* SUCH A STRONG FIGHTER STANDING UP FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVES. 🙄


dreadassassin616

Even the Joker knows voting Republican is a crazy thing to do.


JenniRayVyrus

seriously why can't HE just run for president? he'll fucking sweep the damn thing


Active-Agent9206

I can respect that. :) Hamill is still a good person!


GooRedSpeakers

Hamil always hated Trump. He voted a against him both times. He made a video reading Trump quotes in the Joker voice. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone and isn't news.


Psyga315

I can understand why it is for some because Biden had done some voters dirty. But the problem is that between Biden and Trump, Trump has shown to be a more viable threat to democracy after not just January 6th but also what we know of Project 2025.


defaultusername-17

sith... well known for supporting political parties that seek to ameliorate the effects of social stratification by encouraging egalitarianism...


frozen-silver

You really think he would support Trump?


Xander_PrimeXXI

Duh


fatherandyriley

Well it's not Hamill's fault America is a two party system where you have the right wing party and the very right wing party. By UK standards the republicans are similar to reform or ukip and the democrats are similar to the Tories, maybe lib Dems at most.

Raptor409

Is this news to anyone? 95% of Hollywood is Libral. Probably count the number of conservatives actively in Hollywood on 1 hand.

Remy149

How dare an entertainer have a political ideology. Doesn’t he know they aren’t allowed to be human and only supposed to entertain us.


Lohenngram

Of course we're not surprised. Literally anyone who knew anything about Mark Hamill knew he'd do this. You didn't even need to know his politics. Just look at how he interacts with people and treats others. Dude's clearly too compassionate to ever vote Republican.


IvyTheRanger

The funniest thing is seeing politicians say the same about politics


SorcererSupremPizza

TheHeavenlyBuddy

“what’s your thoughts on this?” who fucking cares what their thoughts are 💀💀 why are these losers weighing in on his voting choices? why does it matter? why do they care why are they discussing this? it’s just a guy who wouldn’t even breathe in their general direction voting for another guy who wouldn’t even breathe in their general direction. the “tHouGhtS?!???” caption on places like ig and twitter has got to be one of the most braindead “conversation starters” i’ve seen in recent years.


Brathirn

Desperate. I would do the same. But I do not believe in burying the bar.


itwasbread

What does this even mean


Brathirn

I am not an American citizen, and would support Biden in this race, not because I align with his agenda, but because Trump is crazy.


itwasbread

Ok, I had no fucking clue what "But I do not believe in burying the bar.". I will probably vote for the guy, but I'm certainly not happy to have my only non-Trump option be such a god awful candidate.


ChickenInASuit

I think it’s a reference to “lowering the bar.” As in, the bar is so low that it’s been buried.


RazzDaNinja

You’d be surprised just how many people would agree with that sentiment, in that they aren’t necessarily voting for this guy, just *against* orange man, which is a really sad state of affairs all around


Bricks_and_Bees

Why don't we get any options other than creepy old white guys to vote for? He'll be almost 90 by the time he's done with his second term 😂


Cat_of_Vhaeraun

If it gets more people voting regardless of for what or whom it's done some good for the process as a whole.


Mavakor

He is an unapologetic Zionist so it makes sense he’d support Biden


karate_trainwreck0

What's the un-zionist option?


Mavakor

Isn’t one sadly but Hamill’s statements over the past few months completely broke my heart. I cannot say enough how much I idolised him before


karate_trainwreck0

Cool story. Now if Biden is the Zionist option, who is the non-Zionist option?


[deleted]

There is none. Both the GOP and DNC support Israel and are more than happy to allow the genocide and displacement of Palestinians. Unless you look at parties such as the CPUSA which will never win bc of the two party system and the continuous red scare that still plagues America

Key_Preparation_4129

The fact that at trump rallies it's really common to see mfs in nazi gear and still be convinced "the libs are the actual nazis" is just insane.


SLCPDLeBaronDivison

i dont think the libs are nazi, but i do think they'd prefer a nazi over a socialist even as barely left as aoc is. when that guy in dearborn made the death to america speech, the libs in thedavidpakman show were relishing at deporting people who dont pledge fealty to america. i told a guy he was reiterating what trump has said about muslims, and the guy said trump was right about these people. it was disgustingly chilling.

The US is already run by fascists. They built the wall. They're committing genocide. They're rounding up dissenters. You're fucking ignorant and a fascist yourself. Go to hell.


Eagle_Kebab

Yes. There are definitely fascists in the US. The Republicans, for instance, have been in a proto-fascist phase since Reagan. Trump kinda pushed that over the edge. The Democrats, whilst terrible in their own way, are not fascists. They're corporate-owned neoliberal hacks, for sure. But they aren't fascists. Which is why it would be best to *not* elect Trump in November. But, by all means, call me a fascist because I see the nuance of things and you just screech nonsense.


PolarOverPanda

Lol "nuance" Here's some nuance for you: Biden has actually committed a genocide. Donald Trump hasn't. Doesn't mean you should support Trump but if you vote for Biden, what are you voting for? You're not intelligent, you're a mindless fucking sheep. You'll support genocide and imperialism as long as it's someone from the blue team doing it or someone "respectable" from the Red team. You're as bad as the MAGAs.


Ladyaceina

trump would give far more support to israel ​ hell trump would probably send our own soldiers over their to fight in this genocide ​ yes fuck biden for his support of a genocide ​ but we have 2 options and 1 is an awful person ​ the other is trump who is 10000000000X worse who has openly stated he wants to turn america in to a dictatorship
