She's literally never voiced a political opinion anywhere. Sweeney has publicly stated that she considers herself a non-political person focused on her work in the arts. In other words, the rest of the internet trying to drag her into this political crap are all being a bunch of incel jackasses that can't possibly comprehend someone just living their life and staying out of it. "How dare you not pick a side and dump all your social capital into that".

Now, she is technically a registered republican, but that doesn't really mean anything. It's actually normal for up to 10% of registered republicans to vote for the democratic candidate, and a lot of people just stick with the politics of their parents. Her parents are known MAGA supporters, but that doesn't mean she is. Hell my mom is a hardcore MAGA supporter, and I think Trump is a complete dumpster fire. In fact, Sydney avoids politics entirely probably because she's too busy working and enjoying her life. I don't agree with dragging people into politics when they seem to want nothing to do with it.

Gonna be real the fact she "doesn't really care about politics" is partly why they love her because that's pro status quo and makes her malleable to them as a blank slate to sexualize

It's a good position for any actor if they want a lot of work.

When you hire someone like Tom Hanks, you want a qualified actor who will bring people with their star power and not alienate anyone. You want this because you are throwing $100 million at making a movie, and you want as many people to watch it as possible. You could give a crap what the political affiliations of your audience are. The less you know about an actor's personal life, the more you can just picture them in their movie role.

If an actor wants to take a political stand, that's great, but I don't agree with them being bullied into doing it. They are living their dream. Let them.

When you're good at acting you can voice opinions and still get work.

Unless you're gonna suggest that Scarlett Johannson, Jack Black, Matt Damon, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchett, and many more had trouble finding work?

Except conservatives are doing exactly that by championing what appears to be a pretty apolitical, but republican-sympathetic actress as the counter culture response to the woke left

I condemn both sides equally for trying to politicize her.

Except only one side is politicizing her. So congratulations, you're falling for the propaganda.
