It never fails.
Whenever Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie career stalls, he dives into politics. And he's baaack. Talking about movies, himself and his liberal agenda.
“In the movies, you solve this problem very quickly,” Schwarzenegger said. “You go in the room, you break the door down, and you see all these guys mapping out the district lines and all this stuff, fixing the system—you just go blow up the room, burn the maps, throw everyone out the window, and your job is done.”
He waited for the laughter, which comes. “But that’s in the movies.”
Yes. In real life you use your fading celebrity to lecture people.
Schwarzenegger is preparing to throw himself into a public and behind-the-scenes campaign to build momentum around what’s become a defining cause of his post-gubernatorial career. He has a Terminate Gerrymandering Crowdpac that he’s pledged to match dollar-for-dollar...
Schwarzenegger draws a straight line between the election reforms he oversaw in California—the redistricting commission and the open, top-two “jungle primary” system—and what’s happened since.
... if you love one party elections. Like the one that dumped Kamala Harris on America, then you'll love this.
But Schwarzenegger said he’s done running himself. He can’t run for president, though he clearly wishes he could. He can’t run for governor again, “except if they would change the Constitution, then I could think about it.”
Or he could make a bunch of other movies that no one will watch.
If you want to understand why Ahnold is back in politics, follow the money. Or lack thereof.
