“Parks and Recreation” star Nick Offerman thinks that if Hillary Clinton were a man, this “election would be over already,” and he adds that voters are terrified to see a woman become president.
“I also think that if she were not a woman, we would not be in this boat,” the actor said in an interview with Esquire.
“And that’s another sad thing, that a large reason there’s so much anger and mistrust of her is because people are very reluctant to see the patriarchy topple. I am incredibly excited that the glass ceiling will be shattered. I mean, we’ve had our first black president and we’ll probably have our first woman president. And of course we’re going to go kicking and screaming as a nation into that, we would have it no other way.”
Offerman, who stars in the upcoming film “The Founder,” also believes that “we have nobody to blame but ourselves for this election.” Voting for Clinton is the only “sane,” “moral” and “logical” choice this term, he said, citing Donald Trump as a “failed casino” owner — “a spectacularly failed one.”
“I mean, I’m not a great political brain, but I definitely have a pretty simple take on politics that involves common decency,” he said. “It’s usually easy for me to vote because one party usually offends me by being indecent. And that usually has to do with taking away the rights of some group.”
The actor added, “there’s no logical or sane or moral choice to be made other than voting for Hillary Clinton.”

In conjunction, he released a star-studded video titled "Important" and although it doesn't mention either candidate by name, it does reference "a man whose signature move is firing someone," as well as describing one of the candidates as "a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society."
The Prophets of Rage guitarist teamed with Ryan Harvey and Ani DiFranco to record "Old Man Trump."
The song was originally an unfinished Woody Guthrie protest piece intended for his landlord who happened to be Fred Trump, Donald's father.
Harvey told the Guardian: “You’ve got Donald Trump talking about making America great again ... and so here’s Woody Guthrie, one of the definers of American history, coming out after his death and saying ‘No, it wasn’t a great era and in fact your father was part of the problem.’”
Eminem is known for not holding back when it comes to diss tracks, but this time he let it all out in a track titled "Campaign Speech" -- eight minutes of anti-Trump freestyle, among other topics like Trayvon Martin and Colin Kaepernick.
"A f---ing loose cannon, who's blunt with his hand on the button who doesn't have to answer to no one," raps Eminem. "Great idea."
