Elections How do you feel about celebrity endorsements of presidential candidates?

[BluntForceTrama]

I suppose if youre a Harris supporter youre probably all about Taylor Swift suddenly backing her

But what if it turns out she is the worst person ever to potentially hold this post and Taylor is influencing an army of lost souls into backing someone who hasnt even laid out her plans for the country?

For this exect reason,

Socrates, the first critic of Democracy: "Foolish leaders of Democracy, which is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequaled alike." He believed that not everyone has right to vote. He saw voting as a skill acquired by wisdom​

Letting dumb or ill-informed citizens to vote like this is huge disservice to the lay of this land. Its like letting Joe Rogan spout off on pseudoscience or thinly researched topics of significance

Take a seat on the couch. What about Taylor is threatening to you?

How very dare she suggest voters study up and make up their own mind up, but to make sure they actually vote.

She has clout because of the record breaking tour and all the charity work she does but why should she have to wind her neck in after Mango Molester posted a bunch of lies about her endorsing him?

I need to spell this out for you?
In a tight race, this matters

 

[Pittie Petey]

I live all my life based on Taylor Swift endorsements

 

[fingercuffs]

Has self confessed not being very nice in the company of underage teens Nugent officially endorsed Mandarin Molester yet?

 

[K1levelgrappler]

I’m cool with it but only if it’s good celebrities like Jon Voight and Kevin Sorbo

 

[Ruprecht]

What if your entire presidency platformed off shameless self promotion as a celebrity via a "reality" TV show or perhaps a career in Hollywood peaking in movies such as Bedtime for Bonzo?

"Letting dumb or ill-informed citizens to vote" so what are you saying? You should not get to vote?
Well I agree, you should not get to vote.

 

[deviake]

I was totes going to vote for Stable Genius but no can defend the Tay Tay. Celebrities know their stuff

I'm sure it does, and it is great that a pop star is encouraging people to exercise their right to vote. What is your problem here?

Awww. It must suck to be defeated by Taylor Swift to the point where you can't even articulate why you disagree with her.

Why not? Celebrities can have their opinions too.

Thats not the point. Its to get their followers to do the same thing

Appeal to authority is a fallacy

 

[USA!USA!]

Do not care about celebrity endorsements, especially when they are billionaires. They have completely different agendas than the normal everyday American.

 

[Rygu]

I have no real opinion on celebrities endorsing candidates.

I definitely have an opinion on those who let celebrities influence their opinion on who they're going to vote for. They're retarded.

That's up to the followers. Celebrities are not responsible for other people's decisions.

 

[Blayt7hh]

What are you even suggesting TS? That Celebrities not be allowed to share their thoughts on politics?

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Dumb people love celebrities. Vast majority of celebrities are dumb and uneducated as well.
Smarter people have to live in a world where celebrities either have political clout over hordes of cretins, or outright run for office themselves.
