John Malkovich, the famous American actor, has not participated in the US presidential election for more than five decades. A decision that goes back to the 1972 elections; When George McGovern, the Democratic Party candidate whom Malkovich supported, was badly defeated by Richard Nixon.
According to Ambassador Arjan, this unusual decision is part of Malkovich's pessimistic view of American politics and political system; A look that has not changed much over the years.
Malkovich supported McGovern in the 1972 election. To help the election campaign of this democratic candidate, he even turned to field activities and went to the houses to distribute advertising brochures. However, the outcome of the election was contrary to his expectations and Nixon won by a significant margin.

This defeat was not only an election failure for Malkovich. He later recalled that on the night of the announcement of the results, while talking to his father on the phone, he decided not to participate in the elections. His father was surprised to hear this decision and told him that he could not withdraw from political participation so easily; But Malkovich had apparently made up his mind.
In explaining his position, this actor has said that basically he does not believe much in the political system. From his point of view, the problem is not limited to a party or a president, but to the overall structure of politics.
In the following years, Malkovich has repeatedly spoken about his distrust of politics. He believes that the political system is largely affected by corruption and official narratives cannot be easily trusted.
However, his political positions have not always been consistent with the image of a liberal critic of American politics. Malkovich has in the past supported the US invasion of Iraq and expressed controversial views on war and the death penalty.
At the same time, he has faced political and power issues many times in his films. His presence in projects with a political theme shows that staying away from voting does not necessarily mean complete disinterest in political issues.
