Come­di­an Sarah Sil­ver­man said she stopped talk­ing pol­i­tics through­out the elec­tion, believ­ing Amer­i­cans do not wish to hear from celebri­ties at the moment.

Even though Sil­ver­man has been an out­spo­ken Demo­c­rat for years, cam­paign­ing for Barack Oba­ma in 2008 and 2012 as well as a speech at the 2016 Demo­c­ra­t­ic Nation­al Con­ven­tion­al (DNC), she told the Min­neso­ta Star Tri­bune she chose to keep silent this elec­tion because “no one want­ed to hear from celebri­ties right now.”

“I was on the road with this tour, for one thing. A lot of peo­ple asked me if I was going to make a video or some­thing. But my feel­ing was that no one want­ed to hear from celebri­ties right now,” she said.

“Maybe I was wrong,” she con­tin­ued. “I just focused on repost­ing thoughts from smarter peo­ple. There is one thing I wish I had done. In 2008, I did some­thing called the Great Schlep where I told young Jews to tell their grand­par­ents they wouldn’t vis­it them again unless they vot­ed for Oba­ma. I should have done some­thing like that again.”

In the end, Sil­ver­man believed her views would not “have made a dif­fer­ence” any­way.

As Bre­it­bart News report­ed, a recent poll showed a major­i­ty of Amer­i­cans do not care for celebri­ty endorse­ments.

“For the recent pres­i­den­tial elec­tion, a full 75 per­cent of sur­vey respon­dents said a celebrity’s endorse­ment of a can­di­date made no dif­fer­ence or not much of a dif­fer­ence on how they vot­ed, accord­ing to the new Ras­mussen poll released Mon­day,” said the report.

“Sur­pris­ing­ly, respon­dents who iden­ti­fy as lib­er­al were more like­ly than oth­ers to dis­re­gard the opin­ion of a celebri­ty, with a full 80 per­cent say­ing a Hol­ly­wood endorse­ment didn’t sway their deci­sion this elec­tion sea­son. Among con­ser­v­a­tives, that fig­ure was 73 per­cent,” it added.

A recent arti­cle in The Hol­ly­wood Reporter (THR) also showed that left-lean­ing Hol­ly­wood celebri­ties have no plans to demon­strate as dra­mat­i­cal­ly against Trump as they did fol­low­ing 2016.
