Reporter on Guilds and Voting

In this issue of the Hollywood Reporter, they talk about the influence that Hollywood Guilds have on people in Hollywood going to vote in the polls. Apparently various guild groups in Hollywood are encouraging their members to go out and vote in the upcoming election. According to the article, the Guilds also may be encouraging them to vote for so called “pro labor 2020 candidates.” The way that these guilds are doing this is by putting up posters encouraging voting or by even providing a small in person voting areas in theatres that they are partners with. They also are donating to political candidates as well. While I think that it is good that the Guilds are doing these things: encouraging people to vote or even providing in person voting centers, I also feel like they may unintentionally or intentionally alienate some voters. This is because the majority of the political candidates that the Guilds are endorsing are democrats such as Adam Schiff of California. I’m not saying they don’t have the right to vote for who they want, but I am saying that only supporting liberals can alienate conservative people in the industry. Yes there are some conservatives in Hollywood who support Donald Trump and no it’s not just Kanye west. These names include: Kevin Sorbo, Kristy Swanson, Dean Cain, James Woods, John Voight, and several others. So I think the guilds should let everybody in on it.
