There's a danger in that sort of activism, and direct intervention often results in backlash. It's very hard to protest capitalism on the consumer side. It rarely works for protests that directly affect the consumer and I've never seen it work for proxy fights. I'm sure most actors do think they are making a positive difference through the films they choose to act in. I'm sure they believe in and push for messaging they think help people. I don't think they believe (rightly or not, i don't know) that they have the direct influence to "simply" help elect certain politicians.
