    The real question is who do they want to hear political opinions from? Most of the voices being heard are being heard because they are (or were) celebrities. Even when a celebrity is an expert in something, it’s not their area of expertise upon which they are usually opining.

    Take Musk as an example. He has no credibility in anything beyond marketing tech companies, but people love to listen to him bray about anything that occurs to him, no matter if he’s right, wrong, making things up, or parroting brain rot conspiracy theories. His business acumen made him a celebrity, and it’s that celebrity status that is the reason anyone gives even a whiff of a shit as to what he thinks about the price of condoms in Bratislava.

    I mean... if I remember correctly, Trump had a "celebrity" line-up blowing him on stage whenever he could and the example here, TS just told people to go vote without putting her opinion out there strongly.

    The only people whose political opinions matter to me are ordinary working class people like me. Celebrities, billionaires, influencers, politicians (ironically) are so disconnected from what actually goes on in the average Americans life, nothing that they say will come from a place of genuine understanding to me.

    If there is another group of people more out of touch with daily life for more of us, I would be very surprised.

    It doesn't matter to me if someone is a celebrity or not. I don't want to hear political opinions from uneducated people.

    The ex vice president is now just a celebrity? Is Obama a celebrity?

    How about influencers like Charlie Kirk. Wasn't he a celebrity?

    Half of Fox News is ex-political hacks. Celebrities now?

    This is a lame attempt to diminish opposition criticism of the regime. They can't win the argument, so they belittle the source of the argument.

    This is 6 year old tactics.

    Susie: Well Billy wets his bed.

    I mean, Kamala bringing a new celebrity every day for her campaign did nothing for her. Which is what the post is about.

    Just because they got/ numbers from a poll, it doesn't translate to all Americans

    He's literally been giving out political opinions since the 80s.
    What do you want to bet that a majority of the poll
    respondents are maga to make it that much more ironic.

    What the respondents didn't say, and possibly weren't even aware of, is that they're only counting it as 'political' when they don't agree with it

    In fairness, he was also a fat stupid racist, which his supporters really like, because they can relate.
