That's what they're supposed to do. If you want people to see your way, you point out the flaws in others' and the good in your own.

That's what they're supposed to do? That doesn't even make sense. So by being celebrities they're supposed to shove their ideological and political views down the throats of every single person and fan? Cause that's what i was talking about. So either you completely missed the point or you're being dense.

OT: Yeah, everyone should be able to speak their mind.

I'm guessing the latter.

I mean people in general. You said anyone and followed up with they, so I didn't think you were referring to celebrities specifically.
Anyone so long as they don't force their political views on others and attack other people for having different political views, wich is what a lot of them do.

To both actually. I think the same applies to anyone else. You have every right to talk about whatever you want but when you take it too far that's where i draw the line.

I'm personally a fan of activists. Not that I enjoy everything being derailed to what's happening atm or constant name dropping.

I agree but so do a lot of “middle America “ people. They don’t know how government works, how people are elected, how bills become laws, the budget, GDP, what policies candidates hold.

What’s better, 20+ ignorant celebrities that mean well? Or 30 million who don’t know anything and won’t even try to learn? That number may be lower or higher than reality.

Thats why democracy is a sham and the celebrities help enforce the status quo and attempt to keep the public uneducated about the real issues plaguing the nation

Everyone. Politics is apart of all individuals.
By the way, I advise not to get your insight from YouTube comment sections.
They are filled with idiotic basement dwellers...

Celebrities live in a different world, whatever they are taking about they have no idea how us the normal see it.

You realize you are emulating exactly what you’re complaining about right? You make it sound like because they live in a “different world” that somehow politics don’t apply to them. This is what sets the divide amongst classes. That somehow because you are rich or poor, well off, or struggling that this somehow gives you more or less of a right to speak your opinion on any given political subject.

Politics effect EVERY walk of life from the filthy rich to the homeless. Simply telling others to shut up because you don’t like their view isn’t progression. It’s polarization.

Now if you said people who don’t actually pay attention to what policies or agendas that are being put forth and vote on popular opinion or because of status shouldn’t discuss politics, that would be another matter.

Simply being a celebrity doesn’t mean they don’t know what they are talking about...unless they ACTUALLY don’t know what they are talking about:bdpf:

Everyone has the right to talk politics but what no one has the right to do is force their political ideoligy on another that is what a fascist would do so if you attack someone who voted trump because you believe trump is a nazi then you yourself are the problem and are in favt the nazi

Everybody has the right to talk about politics, as it affects everybody's lives, but you have to be educated about it to talk about it in the first place, otherwise the results you get are Trump supporters mouthing off like chumps.
