We’re getting deeper into the political season, which means the “celebrity endorsements” will be ramping up. For John Cusack, running across a socialist politician like Bernie Sanders who shared his belief system was serendipity, and the actor campaigned for Sanders today in New Hampshire:

“Celebrity endorsement” season always brings with it an endless display of hypocrisy and self-unawareness, and this was no different: Here are a couple different clips (via Grabien News founder Tom Elliott):

Cusack closes with an attack on “the 1 percent of the 1 percent”:

Many Dems have had to shift from “the one percent” to “the one percent of the one percent” so they can find a class that Sanders isn’t in (not to mention themselves):
Most of his paychecks came from big Hollywood studios with corporate governance and investors. He himself has also done countless product placements. https://t.co/myUANhz7d0

Cusack and Sanders didn’t appear to recognize the irony and hypocrisy.

And Bernie's policies/supporters would bring those things here faster.
No thanks.

Speaking of upside down logic, progressives think Venezuela is greater than the United States.
Yet, none of them move there.

Nobody tell John that global poverty levels have never been lower. It would break his heart.
