Stranger Things actor Sean Astin, who also played Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings as well as Rudy, took to Twitter to whine about his followers not liking his Tweets.
Astin takes to Twitter to cry that only 90 of his 330,000 followers liked his tweet about Renee Hoagenson, a woman running for the United States House of Representatives in Missouri.
When I mention a Pro-Climate Candidate like @ReneeHoagenson and only 90 of my 330,000 followers “like” comment & retweet, I get pretty ticked off. Do you all know who she is? Is her opponent a Climate-supporter?
Laziness and irresponsibility exists on twitter & that means YOU.— Sean Astin (@SeanAstin) October 15, 2018
The tweet in question appears to have gotten some more likes since he cried about. As of this writing it’s up to 290.
YES YES YES!!!
????@ReneeHoagenson is running for the House of Representatives in Missouri. She is talking about the environment even when it’s not popular to do so.I’ve watched her videos and from what I’ve seen, America would be lucky to have her in Congress. https://t.co/S5qw071in0

It’s hilariously sad that Astin has to whine and cry on Twitter because people aren’t liking his Tweets about politics and climate change. It’s more than likely the people that follow Astin didn’t do so for his hot takes on political issues. If I was a betting man, they probably follow him because of the movies and television shows he stars in like [easyazon_link identifier=”B005529EI2″ locale=”US” tag=”boundingintocomics-20″]Lord of the Rings[/easyazon_link], [easyazon_link identifier=”B076HBKJ6J” locale=”US” tag=”boundingintocomics-20″]Stranger Things[/easyazon_link], [easyazon_link identifier=”B004ADF7RO” locale=”US” tag=”boundingintocomics-20″]The Goonies[/easyazon_link], and [easyazon_link identifier=”B00AVILMJY” locale=”US” tag=”boundingintocomics-20″]Rudy[/easyazon_link].
Just look at this tweet about Rudy it has over four thousand likes.

It’s also possible his followers are starting to tune out regarding his Tweets about climate change. Over the past month, it appears he’s tweeted about the subject dozens of times. Here’s just his most recent examples:
CLIMATE GENOCIDE IMMINENT
Global Food Supply Threatened
Hundreds of Millions will dieThink I’m triggered? I am
Think I’m hysterical? Don’t clog up my thread, I’ll block uNo nihilism, defeatism, politics or panic. Let’s learn & fix it together

Kicking victims of natural disasters when they are down isn’t right.
Pointing out connections between those who vote 2 ignore climate science & their culpability 4 their suffering provokes rage.
Help people understand the science. Let that be the goal. https://t.co/iup07IKTpy

I’ve long complained about the concept of “SINGLE ISSUE VOTING”
ABORTION is the biggest subject that garners absolute primacy in the hearts & minds of an extraordinary number citizens.
Now, I’m thinking about making “ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMY” mine. https://t.co/9oUrRP5XQO

ANTHROPOCENE means,
The Age of Man!
Congrats everyone, we have our own EPOCH, for the moment.
Humanity has arrived. We are the top dog. And, we are ruling the planet just poorly enough, that we are poised to wipe ourselves out.
Bummer.

Experts. We need expert scientists 2 help navigate our global climate emergency. Got asthma? You are acutely aware of how important these issue specialists are.
The party/people in power decide who sits on the panels, commissions, etc…
Choose leaders next month who get it. https://t.co/6o9MLQntN8

Are you laughing at Sean Astin for whining about his Twitter likes? What do you think about his whining?
