gardendreams Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I think celebrities should be endorsing and creating conversations with their followers about policies. I don't think that they should be on the stage at rallies. These celebrities and the girls we stan don't live in the same world as we do and the media puts the attention on them. Political campaigns should emphasis working people 3 2
Cardcaptor Sakura Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I kinda agree. The last minute support from Xtina, Gaga and Katy not only impactless, they also being "harassed" by the Republicans online.
no_better Posted November 6 Posted November 6 They can endorse whoever they want, I don't think it changes much, as per 1

Shinkirou Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Exactly. Maybe if Kamala had tweeted that she hated Taylor too, she would've won
Green Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Their support is irrelevant. People are not going to change their minds because a pop star shows support to a candidate
dumbsparce Posted November 6 Posted November 6 When will some of you realise that pop stars have NOTHING TO LOSE no matter who gets elected?? They might as well continue to show disingenuous support to whoever provides them the least chances of getting "cancelled".
Embustera Posted November 6 Posted November 6 It made me dislike my fave. Why the hell would you endorse a woman like Kamala

The next dem nominee in 2028 needs to appeal to the common folk. Celebrity endorsements can be cute in theory, but talk to real people. They literally learned nothing from 2016 and Hilary's celebrity blitz campaign . It's not even so much that it has a huge impact negatively or positively at the polls but it just makes the party look tone deaf. Working class voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, PA and the rest of the rust belt don't gaf about Beyonce or Cardi B being on stage at rallies, people want to know about the issues and how their policies will impact their everyday life. They think trotting out celebrities will distract and make up for the fact that their messaging is weak to the GP. Dems are out of touch and are not relatable to the common person right now.

Welovetrouble Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I feel like we are overestimating the influence of celebrities lol

I'm glad none of them did I would've lost respect for them if they did and it obviously wouldn't influence my political views Why are people downvoting you? Are people ok with genocide now? Is this what we have become?
BrokenMachine Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Trump has been in constant campaign since 2015 basically. From pop music terms, he has built an inmense and strong fanbase that will fall and believe for anything he says. Kamala just had a few months for the GP to be aware of her existence, she had to rush the stuff Trump already did for around 10 years, so there was no competition at all for this one. It had absolutely nothing to do with MPGs supporting or not 1

Probably intelligent people who know that there's no genocide There's a war however, which is different. I hope that's clear OT: I personally prefer that my faves won't be involved in politics.

Bey'Knight Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I don't get this rhetoric. The election is one thing but its not be all end all. Do you think Trump supporters would condemn the celebs who endorsed him if he'd lost? Silencing people with platforms is exactly what is not needed now or ever. At least it will be on record they are on the right side of history. Besides this is hardly the first time America got it wrong by majority 1

The world's most notorious billionaire endorsed Trump and still won. We are all disappointed but taking out on celebrity endorsement is missing the forest for the trees. 1

I hope that's clear That's not what Palestinians say. You're more near to them than me, so ask them how they feel about what your government is doing to them In the middle you might ask your government to keep defending you of course, but stop with the blatant 'war crimes' to say the least
ICLDXU4HS Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I don't think celeb endorsements in the months leading up to the election are a problem or even all that influential. Everybody can use their voice whichever way they want. However, the aggressive overconfident onslaught of big celebs performing and publicly speaking (+ what SNL did, etc.) in the days/weeks leading up to the election felt extremely off-putting and too much and I can totally see why some would kneejerk react into not voting for that because it honestly almost gave patronizing/condescending. With Trump it felt more like he had his easy to ignore private little gatherings with his cult.

Popboi. Posted November 6 Posted November 6 (edited) If anyone's vote swings cause of a celebrity endorsement it would be just another sign the real issue is in education. Edited November 6 by Popboi.
Ivan_brit Posted November 6 Posted November 6 After Hilary & Kamala lost MPGs will think more if they go public to support anyone
The7thStranger Posted November 6 Posted November 6 (edited) There's no proof here that celebrity endorsements hurt Kamala's chances. But let me put this in stupid ATRL terms since this is apparently your big concern after the election: Elon ended Taylor. Edited November 6 by The7thStranger
