I tried modifying from comments.php and putting it on sidebar.php.

But nothing shows up. Help please? 

<?php $aspirasi = get_post(2); ?> 
<?php if ( 'open' == $aspirasi->comment_status ) : ?>
            <div id="respond">
                <h3><?php comment_form_title( __('Post a Comment', 'newtheme'), __('Post a Reply to %s', 'newtheme') ); ?></h3>

                <div class="formcontainer">  

                    <form id="commentform" action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post">

                            get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/profile.php',
                            wp_specialchars($user_identity, true),
                            wp_logout_url(get_permalink()) ) ?></p>

  1. Don’t build your own form and don’t modify comments.php – it’s purpose is little bit different and I don’t think you should include it inside sidebar.

    Just put comment_form function call in your sidebar template. It takes 2 parameters: args and post_id.

    So you can do it like this:

    $args = array(
    ... // your custom arguments (you can leave it empty
);
comment_form( $args, $post_id );

    Where should you place this code? Somewhere in your sidebar template. (sidebar.php or something like that, but it depends on your theme).
