• US Celebs and Politics

    The problem is, it is so much more then an opinion especially when it comes out of the left, it is a narrative that they are trying to convince others of.

    No, it is just someone expressing an opinion as you do.

    From past experiences going back several years, there does exist a segment
    of the US population that is overly likely to base their opinions on what
    their favorite celebrities tell them. They are the same segment who treats
    the President as a celebrity vs. as a politician/leader of our country.

    Maybe you don't have that issue in Canada, but we do here. Good on you if
    you don't.

    There are celebrities who know this, and will make threats about retiring
    or leaving the US if their fans don't vote the way they want them to.

    This is where they cross the line between "expressing an opinion as you do"
    and trying to use their celebrity status for political influence.
