Does having American politicians getting celebrities to back them in elections actually get them votes?

I find it so stupid but politicians use celebrities to back them in elections in the USA.

I get Americans are stereotyped as stupid and ignorant to the rest of the world but that is obviously not 1000% ture before anyone comes for me.

Do they really think you guys are that stupid but you'll vote for them if they pay Tyler Swift, a woman who's made a very successful career of writing songs about choosing the wrong person, tell you who you should vote for.

What do celebrities like Beyonce who's heavily involved with P diddy have in common with the average working American.

If politicians used these tactics in the UK they'd get laughed at and called out of touch.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever say I'm voting Labour because Harry Styles said I should in the UK

People seem to not realise these celebrities are being paid billions to back these politicians and been giving scripts on what to say. They don't care about normal people they care about there pay check. Tyler Swift is the worst for it. Everyone knows she grew up in the country and had her start in country music do you think your average American country music fan is voting kamala? Let's be real

Its hard to respect the opinion of someone who deceives for a living such as a actor or a lawyer. An opinion that makes sense is someone who works in a relevant area.

Personally I like engineers, the math and logic of the profession does not leave too much room for lying.

There are lot of people that are so stupid rhey will vote for somebody who is totally incompetent just because a rich celebrity says so even though the celebrity Hasson much money inflation does not effect them and lives behind a gate so the illegal aliens don't cut their head off with a machete.

Yes. It actually works. That’s why politicians on both sides use it.

It's stupid though what do these celebrities have in common with the everyday voter. Half of them in Hollywood are all sick pedos in cults why would anyone trust anything they say

[NaultD]

It's not about choosing who to vote but it's about getting people to be motivated to even register and vote. Get the first step going in snowball effect just to vote.

[saraupstairs]

They get stupid voters.

[BoobMan]

In a word: No.

[eagle1951]

yeah

Don't you find it insulting but your government thinks you guys are so stupid but you'll only vote for them if your favourite celebrity tells you too
