At this point, it’s nearly impossible to avoid the presidential debates and the massive amounts of stress that they bring. And like, OK, we should technically be paying attention to what happens to the world around us, and our fave celebs have a lot to say about last night’s presidential debate. We all know that celebrities have a lot of influence (whether they should or not) on how aware we are on ~the issues~ so it’s always a good feeling to see them encouraging dialogue and reminding us that we HAVE to pay attention to WTF is happening in politics, as dismal as it seems.

Here’s what some of our faves had to say:

Katy Perry on how we were all feeling.

"RT IF YOU ARE YELLING AT THE TV RIGHT NOW. #debates"

Queen Leslie Jones doing her own fact-checking, saying,

"It sound like he gets all his info from Wikipedia! Like he is so fucking uninformed it's embarrassing!! This is our fault! FUCKING VOTE!!"

J.K. Rowling on why words are never just words, saying,

"Trump says 'just words, folks.' It's his accusation and his defence. Words don't matter. Facts don't matter. If they don't, we're all lost."

Anna Kendrick getting SO REAL about this “locker room talk” nonsense.

"Doubling down on "locker room talk"?! Like all men do this?! Trumps words are an attack on women, this pathetic excuse is an attack on men."

And our fave Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the state of the election.

"God, I hope that the next GOP candidate in 2020 is not an imbecile only to elevate the national debate. Seriously, this is such a joke."
