A surprising number of U.S. celebrities are talking about Thursday’s UK election on social media, with most coming out in support of Labour Party candidate Jeremy Corbyn.
On Monday, actor Mark Ruffalo tweeted an endorsement for Corbyn, who is running against current Prime Minister Theresa May of the Conservative Party.
Ruffalo tweeted that Corbyn offers “an alternative to the corporate status quo, which never ends well for them.”
Because @jeremycorbyn offers people an alternative to the Corporate status quo, which never ends well for them, I humbly endorse Corbyn.
