I'd like to have some other Bore members opinion on this. This is mine:
It boggles the mind that ANYONE would think a celebrity endorsement counts for shit. Who the fuck thinks to themselves 'I was undecided on Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, but Taylor Swift sez vote for Kamala? Then Kamala got my vote!'
Nothing puts me off MORE than celebrity endorsements. Democrats are the worst for it. If you're struggling to make ends meet in your job, why the fuck are celebrities who earn multiple $1,000,000's per movie, and who live a lifestyle you will never have in your wildest dreams, swinging your vote? I'm infinitely less likely to vote for a party just because Tay-Tay, and now ScarJo, are brown-nosing Kamala.
Republicans also completely suck in this regard, but in a different way. All their celebrity endorsements are from crazy dipshits like that Pillow-fucking guy, or from Hollywood has-beens like Kevin Sorbo, that whiney dude who played Superman in the 90's and Chachi from Happy Days. But in Republicans case, it's insane people preaching to largely insane people, aka, preaching to the already converted so it doesn't matter.
Besides, it's been proven that celebrity endorsements have virtually no influence, so not sure why politicians sucking hog for them. A month ago, Swifties pressured TayTay into supporting Kamala and it only added a couple of 100,000 registrations. And most young voters are just like Era voters: all bark and no bite. They never come out in huge numbers to vote.
If you need to be told which way to vote by a celebrity, than you have no business voting in the first place.
It’s always been bizarre when the old argument against Trump, The Rock, Kanye, Arnold, etc. is they’re dumb celebrities and not politicians. But you’re still meant to care about their political stances when they’re endorsing somebody else.
To quote my write-in candidate: I like some of the Clooney movies. What the fuck does he know about politics.
