Chris Pratt comes under fire after sharing his views on the election

Chris Pratt is facing criticism for his neutral approach to the presidential election.

In an essay he wrote for his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s website: Maria Shriver’s Sunday NewspaperThe Marvel actor wanted to remind people that no matter who the winner of the election is—and which side wins—”we are fellow Americans.”

He wrote: “When you lose, it’s okay to take a moment and lick your wounds. Damn it, go ahead and cry in the mirror.

“But if we become too paralyzed by defeat or too pompous in victory, loyalty to our ‘team’ can cause us to overlook the fact that we are fellow countrymen,” the movie star said.

Maria shared a link to his story on her website, writing that it was “a really good article by my son-in-law.”

Chris also offered advice on how to be a good citizen, no matter who is elected to office.

“How can we become a nation of graceful winners and graceful losers? It starts with a reminder that no matter who wins or loses, there will still be people in this country who need help,” adding that you need to “find them” and “do a favor.”

He urged both sides to “accept the results and instead focus on supporting each other.”

Chris also talked about losing a wrestling match as a child and how he “cried for at least an hour.”

He said he immediately realized that “losing is part of the game.”

With that in mind, Chris reflected on people today, noting that he believes “a lot of people have yet to learn this lesson.”

“Sometimes your team doesn’t win,” Chris wrote. “As of this writing, there are three days left until the 2024 presidential election. The biggest game of all time is approaching. Team Red vs Team Blue. Revenge for the ages. A clash that was four years in the making. It gives UFC 3Million energy.”

Critics of his article took to X (formerly Twitter), calling its neutrality “upsetting.”

“Even though he doesn’t endorse any candidate and the site is owned by former Democrat (now independent) Maria Shriver, it upsets me that Chris Pratt is playing ‘both sides have good ideas’ with what’s at stake for me.” – one X user wrote.

Adding: “My life is at stake, the bodily autonomy of my trans woman friend and avowed Guardians fan who wrote: “My life is at stake, the bodily autonomy of my fellow trans women and people who might get pregnant in general.” , blacks and immigrants, anyone who disagrees with Trump’s policies, and watch Chris Pratt say, “I see both sides” and “It’s not about who wins and who loses.”
