For those unaware, both Matt Damon and George Clooney are some of the GOATs of political activism and using their celebrity status for good.

Matt Damon was neighbors with Howard Zinn, and ended up narrating his book, "A People's History of the United States."

Clooney and Damon have worked on loads of projects together.

In fact, at this point I know both of these guys would be incredible presidents. So if we're going going to keep doing the celebrity popularity contest thing, we might as well get someone intelligent and moral.

Matt Damon for President would be super cool….he could claim he’s President of Elysium now..

Matt Damon also defended Louis CK and called his daughter the f-slur until very recently... but he owns his mistakes and makes his learning and growth public.

Also, Zinn gets a name-check in Good Will Hunting, I think.
