Know what could really seal the deal with the uninvolved youth?

Very few actors, artists, entertainers or most critically ... musicians are GOP or RW except for some performing what passes as "Country" music nowadays and even then, more than a couple are Dems and progressive.

A massive, "We Are The World" scale production expounding Democratic values and urging them to registar, get involved and vote could surely catch their attention in a big way and make it a Thing to be a Democrat. Something well written and performed could chart.

Media stars could appear in commercials a lot more than they have for the next election in two years as well because we know the pukes, even the Never Trumpers are going to attempt a backlash and reboot.

Just a thought...

registered (young people tend to move around a lot and may not have the residency requirements in place). I don't see how a production might help with those issues.

their fans. Lots are liberals, lots are democrats but they refrain from political actions. For example in Facebook I see the posts by Elizabeth Tulloch, the actress from Grimm and she hold nothing back and you should see the trolls come out after her. As far as I know, she is the only one who makes a political point almost daily
