The video doesn't mention presidential candidates Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump by name. Rather, actor Don Cheadle references a "racist, abusive coward that could permanently damage the fabric of our society."
While the video is somewhat lighthearted, encouraging voters on the grounds that Ruffalo will do a nude scene in his next movie as a reward for voting, it addresses what Whedon sees as a real problem in the U.S: A lot of Americans feel that voting is useless and their votes don't matter.
Save The Day stresses that voting can save our country for our children and our communities and that, "all it takes is all of us."
In an interview with Buzzfeed, Whedon says he was inspired to create Save the Dayafter the first day of the Democratic convention, when Bernie Sanders supporters threatened not to vote for Hillary Clinton come election day. As a result Save the Dayis up and running, complete with state-by-state information on voter registration.
