While I personally enjoyed the Joe Rogan and Trump interview (only watched half of it don't quiz me), I think it is a little underhanded that both parties use celebrities and other famous people to leverage their own candidates' popularity. We now have Leonardo Dicaprio, Taylor Swift, Hulk Hogan, Elon Musk, Lil Pump, Lil Jon, and many others, coming out of the woodworks voicing their opinions on official platforms about who they are going to vote for. I personally think that celebrities can voice their opinions as they are also U.S. citizens, but the fact of the matter is that no matter which side they're on they already have millions of dollars in the bank. What they believe is right for the country is coming from a million dollar bias.
I believe it is completely senseless to take at face value what any celebrity says who they're voting for. They have plenty of motivations to publicly announce whatever or whoever OUSIDE OF what they actually believe in. What will affect the country in the aftermath with either candidate will not affect these people at all. The unfortunate fact is that democracy in its pure unadulterated form is a popularity contest, so this leverage is highly advantageous and has been used since at least the 60's.
At this point I believe that they're still evenly split even with early polling data, as I've seen lots of conflicting info. What do you think?
