Hunger Games Actress Jena Malone Endorses Bernie Sanders

Hunger Games Actress Jena Malone Endorses Bernie Sanders: ‘I vote for ideologies’ not ‘genders’

February 8, 2016 by Julia Porterfield 1 Comment


In the wake of prominent feminist making outrageous claims that “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other” and that young women only support Senator Bernie Sanders because they’re looking for a boyfriend, Hunger Games actress Jena Malone took to Instagram to endorse the Vermont Senator and Democratic Socialist.

“I don’t vote for personalities, genders, shirt colors, pretty speeches or last names,” the actress wrote.
Malone is simply the most recent of a long list of celebrities to endorse Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton. Malone’s Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson was seen on SnapChat campaigning with Sanders during the Iowa Caucus last week.
Known for her memorable performances as the wildly flirtatious Lydia Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Katniss Everdeen’s enemy-turned-friend Johanna Mason in The Hunger Games, the actress recently announced that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Ethan DeLorenzo. Malone’s post featured a picture of her growing baby bump and emphasized the impact this election will have on the life of her child.

The soon-to-be mom made it a point to say she votes based on political ideology, not gender. “#NotWithher #IDontVoteWithMyVagina #IVoteWithMyWholeMotherF&$!ingBody,” Malone wrote.

i don't know how much her endorsement means, but a surprisingly interesting person - at least 100x more interesting than me for example.

Josh Hutcherson has also spoken on his behalf and introduced him at a few of his rallies.

matters is because it can have an appeal to younger kids, if it even does that. Hell I'm a 20-year old and my girlfriend loves Hunger Games and I've been forced to see them all, yet I had to look this person up

Considering the story was a warning of what happens when the 1% gains control and corrupts the government.

If you want to see a movie that mocks religious fundamentalists mercilessly then watch "Saved", it is a very funny movie.
