Celebrities using their status to encourage citizens to exercise their right to vote — it sounds like a fine idea. Yet all campaign season long, left-leaning Hollywood has been using the “get out the vote” efforts as a thin guise for promoting liberal candidates — and shaming everything and everyone else.

Academy Award winner Ben Affleck took part in a “get-out-the-vote” video for Funny or Die, posted in the last week of October. At first, it seemed an innocent attempt at humor while urging the state of New Hampshire to cast votes in the presidential election.

Affleck, an outspoken liberal, adds in these comments: “So, if you give a sh** about women’s rights, if you care about keeping the environment safe for future generations … if you care about people getting to … p*** in the bathroom of their choice … Then guess who’s got your back in this election? That’s right: My basically home state New Hampshire.” Clearly he’s pointing toward a particular candidate.

Director Judd Apatow took part in a similar October video for Funny or Die entitled, “Hey, America! Let’s Vote!” Except, the video wasn’t really directed at all Americans and the point wasn’t to simply vote. In the lackluster video (very unfunny for Funny or Die), Apatow talks about voting to end climate change and how if we don’t, we will all end up living on Mars and drowning underwater — or something like that. It was less a call-to-vote video than a call to liberals everywhere.

Other videos include celebrities Will Ferrell and Keegan-Michael Key in a push from the Left in the final weeks of the presidential election.

Ferrell is perhaps the most subdued of all (surprisingly), though he does say he’s “scared” of one particular candidate — and it’s not hard to guess who that is. Ferrell cemented his support for Hillary Clinton after his Funny or Die video by starring in an ad in which he tried desperately to connect with millennial voters.

“If you don’t vote, everyone might find out that you’re the opposite of ‘on fleek,'” says Ferrell in the recent video in a lame attempt at humor while wearing a T-shirt saying “Nasty Woman” and an “I’m With Her” button.

Key, meanwhile, name-checked people voting for third-party candidates. “No Jill Stein. No Gary Johnson,” he says. Other Hillary supporters have done similar third-party shaming (Trek Against Trump) because polls have shown third-party candidates significantly hurting Clinton this election.

The videos are in partnership with Rock the Vote, a celebrity-filled group whose goal is “to engage and build the political power of young people.” The group, which counts Madonna and Lena Dunham among its members (no surprise there), may use the facade of simply looking to promote voting and taking part in the democratic process — but they make no qualms about which side of the fence they’re on.

The group has long been known for promoting progressively liberal agendas and use their videos and influence to promote things like the Affordable Care Act. They primarily target millennials — who generally vote for more left-leaning politicians.

While Rock the Vote has registered millions of millennials in the past and still sports heavy celebrity support, people don’t seem so amused or influenced this election.

Former “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe called out his fellow celebs, saying, “Every four years, celebrities and movie stars look earnestly into the camera and tell the country to ‘get out and vote.’ They tell us it’s our ‘most important civic duty,’ and they speak as if the very act of casting a ballot is more important than the outcome of the election. This strikes me as somewhat hysterical. Does anyone actually believe that Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen DeGeneres, and Ed Norton would encourage the ‘masses’ to vote if they believed the ‘masses’ would elect Donald Trump?”

The man has a point.

Voters have shown more pushback against celebrities trying to use the “get out and vote” bit to promote liberal agendas this election. A video directed by Steve Golin titled, “What Do You Care About? #VoteYourFuture,” promotes the act of voting and ends by sending readers to a website to register. But before you can get there, you get to sit through celebrities including Julia Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio saying things like, “we are all immigrants” and pushing for gun control.

The videos aren’t exactly popular. Perhaps after celebrities pushed so hard for Barack Obama, people learned their lesson. The “What Do You Care About?” video has nearly eight times more thumbs-down votes than up on YouTube.

“Thanks for the inspiration guys! I’m gonna go vote for Trump!” wrote one commenter. “That’s what you mean right?”

“I care about my country and people, and that’s why I’m voting Trump,” wrote another.
