WTF just happened? Literally every celeb just endorsed Kamala

Because people hate when celebrities get involved in politics.

True r1. I hate that I'm in the same political party as Julia Roberts.

Celebrities know nothing about politics and have no business involving themselves in it. Nobody gives a damn about their opinions. They know nothing about how real working folks live.

[quote]Because people hate when celebrities get involved in politics.

No, when people like Joe Rogan get involved, they LOVE it.

It's the demographics. People who'd vote for Harris HATE it, but people who'd vote for cheeto love it because it reinforces for them that they're not idiots.

The fact that every celebrity endorsed Kamala is precisely why she lost. The general public does not trust famous people anymore.

When John Kerry lost someone put a billboard up on Sunset Boulevard in LA saying something like "thank you Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and a whole list of celebrities who'd been vocal."

Joe Rogan is the most famous podcaster of them all right now, your point is moot.

She hasn’t lost troll, none of the candidates have won 270 delegates yet, in fact none pf them has even made it to 250.

But the gap between the two is small now, unlike two hours ago.

R7 Rogan didn't endorse Trump until a couple of days ago. He wasn't actively campaigning for him in the way that people like Taylor Swift and Beyonce were for Kamala. Most of Rogan's fanbase leaned toward Trump to begin with.

Rogan only endorsed Trump yesterday.

That's BS r9, he was leaning Trump the whole time, not rocket science. I could make the same BS argument how Lady Gaga just endorsed Kamala 2 days ago.

[quote]She hasn’t lost troll, none of the candidates have won 270 delegates yet, in fact none pf them has even made it to 250.

It's 189 to 246, and she's currently behind in all the remaining states with Georgia and NC now called for cheeto.

The writing is on the wall. It's going to be an ugly four years with them in control of all three branches of the federal government.

Rogan is not exactly a progressive. Besides she offered to meet with him, but like a queen he would only do it on his term in his space for 3 hours long. If he was really unbars, he would have made some accommodation.

The worst part is the Supreme court. It's expected 2 more justices will be leaving during the next 4 years. That will give Trump an unprecedented 5 appointed judges. He might even pick Aileen Cannon as payback for dropping his case.

Why would celebrity endorsements influence anyone with a brain?

Why the hell is Rogans show three hours? That’s a ridiculous amount of time to to expect others to indulge you. Do his listeners not have jobs or lives?

The Right Wing played her has a Hollywood Elite and seeing everyone from Beyonce to Cedric praising Kamala just reinforced the right wing rhetoric.

[quote]none of the candidates have won 270 delegates yet, in fact none pf them has even made it to 250.

Yes, but the orange fuck is only 21 away. Not too promising, is it?

So is Trump the exception, R1?

R17 Who’s Cedric?

R20 Cedric the Entertainment.

[quote]Why would celebrity endorsements influence anyone with a brain?

Asked and answered in the same question.

It's not even about the celebs, all of her campaign events had massive turn out. People left trumps events all the time. And Kamala had massive ground game of people knocking on doors etc.

Celebrities tend to be artists. And due to the nature of their work in which they create abstract and fictional representations of humanity and society, most, not all, artists tend to hold Western liberal values. Ditto most, not all teachers and academics.

It’s no big scandal.

Biden gave free housing, ssn, food stamps, work permits to the Venezuelans ; In essence leap frogged other poor ppl of this country, well, the writing was on the wall

[quote] It's not even about the celebs, all of her campaign events had massive turn out.

Campaign events are social events. They don’t equate to individual ballots, they equate to enthusiasm.

Can people understand what a turnoff it is to have people in Hollywood telling voters how to vote? It's a kiss of death.

Americans dumb as rocks. This mafucker is going to remove fluoride from water.

Celebrities? What's so special about a celebrity? Can they walk on water or piss streams of liquid gold?

People want isolationism. No other countries telling us what to do, no outsiders, don’t help others…protect our own.

People resent the fact that celebrities have millions of dollars, several mansions, private planes, chefs, etc... while the middle class are trying to decide to either pay rent or buy groceries. That pisses people off.

[quote]The fact that every celebrity endorsed Kamala is precisely why she lost. The general public does not trust famous people anymore.

I see. So Elon Musk, RFK Jr and that old guy from The Apprentice aren't famous people?

Their media fame is WHY morons trust them with their money.

Elon must die.,

I blame Whoopi Goldberg

The View is must see TV. Whose head will explode first: Joy, Whoopi or Sunny?

[quote]Can people understand what a turnoff it is to have people in Hollywood telling voters how to vote? It's a kiss of death.

So Joe Rogan is not a millionaire celeb in the newest form of entertainment telling people how to vote?

R36 Rogan is more credible than JLo.

R8 Trump currently has 267 electoral votes. The NY Times is estimating that he will win with 312 electoral votes

R36 I don't see Joe Rogan shoving a lavish lifestyle in people's faces the way J Lo, Taylor Swift, George Clooney . . .do

Gwen and Tim Walz

[quote]I don't see Joe Rogan shoving a lavish lifestyle in people's faces

I thought your point was about no on cares about what celebs think? Changing the subject much?

It was planned from the beginning.

Two words:

TWO WORLDS.

R39, is this "the lavish lifestyle" that you consider demure, low key simple living?

At the last minute which didn’t look great. Like some other choice was going to come along? 2 choices. All you had to do was pick one. Over-it madman vs eager teachable woman.

r5 It has nothing to do with trust, it's just that in the grand scheme of life, performers opinions hold no more weight than anyone else's. And I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I found Beyonce to be a total cunt. She's married to a hideous freak who cheated on her. How is she any better than Melania?

OP does not know the meaning of either "literally" or "every."

r1 tell me about it!

I STILL do n't believe even the Election results. I will always believe there was corrupt influence from the outside. Too many powerful powerful people and institutions that had too much to lose de.if Trump lost.

BTW sources are reporting.there are 40 million votes missing somewhere

Don't feed the serial troll:

WTF just happened? Literally every celeb just endorsed Kamala and she lost?

Even Taylor Swift

DOJ moving to wind down Trump criminal cases before he takes office It begins....

The step complies with long-standing Justice Department policy that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News.

I knew this would be Hillary 2016 all over again Everyone said...

Oh MARK MY WORDS...Kamala has this!

There's now way she can lose!

Hollywood is over, dead, and buried. People don’t watch their products anymore. They had every single celebrity out there endorsing Harris and it didn’t do shit.

People don’t admit they vote for Trump

Oprah is the biggest loser.

People didn't vote.

139 million versus 155 million in 2020.

Almost 10% of the voters from 2020 sat out this election. And it was Dems.

Like in 2016, there were too many who believed she had it in the bag, because who would vote for Trump, right?

Yes but those who did vote, white woman, Hispanics, black men, Gen Z white men all surprised us by voting for Trump.

It was the type of celebrities they didn't like. Many who endorsed Kamala and were at her rallies were black. Her last couple rallies came off like a BET award show.

Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga are black?

I’m more appalled that scores of generals and economists warned against Trump and we ignored them.

I’m reeling.

I also think the timing of Diddy arrest was also suspect. It dominated the headlines for several weeks. Like it or not, most in Hollywood were looked down as guilty by association.

Roping in Usher and J Lo to campaign for Kamala was questionable, given their connections to Diddy.

r60 I think Oprah was a poor choice too.

Celebrity endorsements contributed to her loss

Celebrities were definitely a major contributor to Kamala and the Democratic downfall this election.

From George Clooney’s op-ed taking down Joe Biden to the left claiming Taylor Swift has the power to influence the election were just absolute nonsense.

Celebrities telling women to deceive their husbands didn’t help the cause. If anything, it gave women license to secretly vote for Trump,

R14 You are so silly.

How can Trump nominate Aileen Cannon to the Supreme Court when he's already made her Attorney General???

Celebrities are overexposed, played out, and completely boring. Why can't they just do their jobs and STFU? Nobody cares about them beyond watching TV and movies. And I think trotting out all those black celebs to lecture other blacks finished Kamala off.

[quote]Celebrities are overexposed, played out, and completely boring. Why can't they just do their jobs and STFU? Nobody cares about them beyond watching TV and movie.

This.

In this age of social media, celebs are way overexposed than ever before.

And except for the die-hard fans, most people don't care about a celeb's personal life nor political opinions.

They just want to be entertained by them via movies/music or it ruins the illusion otherwise.

Lecturing and scolding isn't working. Especially when done by a rich and famous person.

[Quote] Celebrities know nothing about politics

You could have fooled me. Did you read OP’s thread title? You’re clearly wrong on that.

[quote] Lecturing and scolding isn't working.

We saw that when America rejected old scolds Hillary and Elizabeth Warren.

Kamala was good at not scolding but the Obamas went in big time.

Celebrity just doesn't have the importance it used to. They just don't seem as special anymore now that social media is around. Feeling the need to broadcast everything they think and do has taken away their mystery and allure and left them overexposed. That and their need to be "relatable."

Also, with the Internet and reality TV, any random nobody can get famous nowadays. You don't even need any talent or creativity. All you have to do is know how to sell yourself.

And the #MeToo movement, Diddy parties, etc., show that the morals of many celebrities are in the gutter anyway. Why should people care what they think when they could very well have those kinds of skeletons in their closet?

Maybe Beyonce - a very wealthy woman who paid another woman to have a baby for her - isn’t the best person to lecture working class people on what to do with their votes?

[Quote] We saw that when America rejected old scolds Hillary and Elizabeth Warren.

So I guess only women can be scolds. So they should just shut up, smile and nod. Like good MAGA wives should.

When Trump says half of Americans are bad people and enemies of the state for not being republicans, I guess that’s not scolding.

Speaking of annoying old women ….

Also, a lot of these celebs are globetrotters who barely reside stateside, so it's rich when they try to get involved in domestic affairs.

Their fans (especially the Swifties) almost make you want Trump to win. They're so obnoxious. Even before her endorsement of Kamala, they kept acting like Taylor Swift singlehandedly decided who wins and who loses. They kept telling her and telling her "endorse Kamala. We need you!" Then once it happened, they acted like it was over for Trump. It must be a bitter pill to swallow knowing that their precious idol doesn't have the power they think she does.

I bet alot of the Swifties didn't even bother to vote. They think posting on social media is enough.

R74, does being an old scold hit close to home for you?

Taylor Swift is a legend in her own mind. Her fans listened to her and then voted for Trump. It's way past time for celebs to get out of politics. Ya know, since their struggles include hiring a fleet of nannies to take care of their kids and calling the paps to take photos of them. Gag.

Kamala is half black and a woman-middle America won’t allow such persons as president. I’m around a long time. Some of the nicest most generous -most thoughtful-open minded people do not want blacks in power.

There's a story in the Daily Mail (I know) today that America Ferrera and her husband are so upset that they're moving to London and are looking at expensive schools to send their children. Obviously the local comp won't be up to scratch.

I love this fact from the Guardian:

[quote] A poll from YouGov shortly after Swift’s endorsement found that only 8% of voters would be “somewhat” or “much more” likely to vote for Harris – with a surprising 20% saying the endorsement actually made them less likely to vote for her.

Voters saw Kamala hanging out with rich celebrities while Donald Trump was cosplaying as a McDonald's employee and a garbage man. This gave off the illusion that he was the more relatable candidate to the general public. Next election (if we are lucky enough to have one) I think they should focus less on celebrity endorsements and more on everyday citizens.

[Quote] Also, a lot of these celebs are globetrotters who barely reside stateside, so it's rich when they try to get involved in domestic affairs.

like George Clooney who lives in Italy but wrote an OP ed for the NY Times calling for another Presidential nominee.

Too many of the Swifties were they/thems that raged about Gaza.

Never mind Trump & Co. will shed their blood on American ground......

r72 Also the whole ecosystem of who becomes a celebrity has radicaled changed in the internet age. Gatekeepers to the celebrity world are far less powerful and ubiquitous.
