Actress Mila Kunis is frustrated about the lack of interest in politics, insisting it's "crazy" young people "don't educate themselves about the world."
The "Black Swan" star is a staunch supporter of President Barack Obama and she's baffled that others in her age group don't hold political views.
She's urged the youth of America to sit down with a book or newspaper and learn about current affairs - for the sake of their own children.
Kunis tells Britain's Stylist magazine, "Yes (I'm frustrated), because you are given such an amazing opportunity with so much information. Why is no-one taking advantage of it? You don't have to watch Fox News or CNN or MSNBC; you don't have to be part of a political party, you could just read. Why is nobody reading? I feel like, in our generation, people don't read.
"They don't read books, they don't read the paper, they don't read the news. So obviously you are incredibly ill-informed to the point where they will go do these tests in Middle America... And they'll ask, 'OK, what party are you?' And they'll say, 'Republican'. 'Why?' And they can't even tell you. They have no idea what the Republican Party stands for.
"Why did I vote for Obama? I can tell you why I voted for him, what I agreed and disagreed with him on, for hours. It's crazy to me that people don't educate themselves about the world considering so many of them have children who are going to suffer because of it.
"Whoever you vote for, don't do it just because. And don't tell me it's because of religion either because that whole thing is knocked completely out the window. So you better just educate yourself."

Her political views don’t invalidate her opinion. She’s absolutely right, an informed electorate is a better electorate.
My point is that if you can rationalize liking Obama, I have no f*ing use for you. I literally have no use for any Liberals, none, including family members. If it’s ignorance or indoctrination, it’s doesn’t matter.
Kunis is a Lib, so she’s useless.
You are correct in that statement.
The fatal flaw of your argument is who is doing the educating?
Most people get their “knowledge” from CNN, ABC or a unionized teacher.
And in her case, very little with the one. Thanks Impy.
2. We do need all Americans, especially young Americans better informed.
3. Mila is a naturalized American. She should re-read our Constitution. If she want's to impose socialism she is free to return to Ukraine or to join the unpopular youth mob demonstrating in Israel. (The brats there are led by Stanley Greenberg, the Clinton guy)
Not guilty.
I have no use for stupid people - irrespective of their political persuasion.
And yes, there do exist stupid conservatives, just as there exist stupid liberals. Shucks, there even exist stupid libertarians, although those are far less common than either of the first two categories.
” I have no use for stupid people - irrespective of their political persuasion.”
Amen, little brother!
That she dated/banged Mackalay Culkin for years and supports Obama shows where she's at, brain-power-wise.
Hear, hear!
It’s criminal how much poontang Kevin McCallister has gotten.
You ain’t kiddin’!
Agreed, but I cannot explain that a welfare state is not a good thing; that Islam is not symbiotic with Judaism, Christianity or Secualar Western lifestyles, I cannot accept man-made Global Warming, I cannot accept abortion as form of birth control, I cannot say letting millions of illegal Mexicans come and destroy the US is a good thing.
Call me dumb.

This is just speculation on my part, but I think that many Hollywood celebs like Kunis may be basicially pretty faces with empty heads and thus vunerable to groupthink.
