[Excerpt on #Gaza: “If you really care about Gaza, vote to have a voice, so you can do something about it. And then, be ready to turn out into the streets, in the millions, and fight for it.”]

i would encourage people cracking jokes about the old lady to actually read the article. Turns out she’s pretty cool and has been politically active since her youth. Also proposes a coherent plan for young people who want to make a bigger difference than voting for a 3rd party will ever accomplish.
We know who she is, she hasn’t been relevant in decades and even then only barely so.
sure, young people only interested in names aren’t going to be swayed here. Taylor Swift has that covered.
her message is to politically active young people who may actually listen to what she has to say.
I’m just barely old enough to for Jane Fonda having an opinion to be meaningful for me in any way, and I’m in my 50s. How on earth is she going to rally “disaffected young US voters” when most of them have likely never heard of her?
I’m just barely old enough to recall when Sir Mixalot alleged that Jane Fonda does not have a motor in the back of her Honda. I agree that she is not likely to make strong inroads with Gen Z.

The greatest election of your lives… Every four years. Been doing this since 2004. Yes I’m voting and it’s not for the orange shit stain.
Who is Jane Fonda.
She’s the Queen of the galaxy.
She used to be married to Ted Turner.
Isn’t she that other lady from that Netflix show my mom loves?
(Which I also love but honestly not the best person for youth outreach.)

Because if there’s one person young people are just itching to hear from it’s 86 year old Jane Fonda…
