Chris Pratt stays impartial for the 2024 Presidential Election and delivers a message of unity on this time of division.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star didn’t endorse Kamala Harris or Donald Trump however as an alternative talked about coming collectively as a rustic.
“I’ve been doomscrolling my way through this election season. And I see things from both sides. I understand that people’s lives and rights are on the line,” Pratt mentioned in a column for Sunday Paper, his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s web site. “I also see that there are millions of people who feel overlooked and invisible to our government and are desperate for something to change.”
Pratt went on to recall that his “family was poor” rising up and though his “life has drastically changed” after turning into a film star, he added, “I’m trying to make sense of the election through the eyes of Americans on both sides. I’ve been thinking a lot about where we’ll be as a nation on November 6th, how we can attempt to move forward after so much division, and how some of the lessons that sports teach us may be just what all of us need as we chart a course forward.”

“I feel as though we live in a time now when so many people have yet to learn that lesson. Sometimes your team doesn’t win,” he mentioned. “The 2024 presidential election is three days away as I write this. The biggest game of all time approaches. Team Red versus Team Blue. A rematch for the ages. A showdown four years in the making. It’s giving UFC 3Million energy.”
Pratt famous that politics is totally different from sports activities and is aware of that many will say it’s “easy for him” however provides that he has “spent many more years of my life struggling than having money in the bank.”
“It’s OK to take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck, go ahead and cry in the mirror. But if we become too paralyzed by defeat or too pompous in victory, allegiance to our “team” can blind us to the truth that we’re fellow countrymen,” he provides.
Pratt continued, “So, be a good sport. We need you. Our country needs you. Team Red, Team Blue, and Team “Didn’t Even Vote,” too. Your civic responsibility will be uniquely exercised on November fifth, however there may be an excellent larger civic responsibility required the subsequent day: which is to just accept the outcomes and focus as an alternative on displaying up for one another.”
