I really don’t understand why any common person would care about the political views of celebrities. They have nothing in common with the common people. They don’t have the same struggles, the same goals, or the same perspective. Nancy Pelosi is a great example. Although her fame is political, she called the tax cuts that the common people were mere crumbs. She is not wrong. However she seems discount that there are millions trying to survive and build a life for their family on those crumbs.
I may really enjoy watching Ellen on television. She is quite funny. However, when the politics comes up I have to leave.
I believe is good to read and study before you vote. It is nice if you can find someone who at least agrees with some of your core values and understands your circumstances. But voting the way an actor votes probably won’t improve your life as a commoner.
Consider the source as much as you would the actuals words.

Am I truly in and will it let me comment
I could care less about the celebrities and if and how they vote.
If they can offer intelligent and relatable solutions, and recognizable lawful results to the problems of our day. Otherwise, I just automatically shut down the noise (mute the video or change the channel). We don’t own a TV, thankfully.
I wouldn’t be so quick to say that celebrities don’t have the same struggles, goals, or perspectives as everyday people. After all, many celebrities are just everyday people who have achieved a certain amount of fame and fortune. Many of them were once an average Joe or Jane just like the commoners, i.e. the rest of us. But I don’t really like the idea of celebrities peddling their “influence”. I mean … some people will follow someone, accept someone, or even vote for someone, just because a celebrity endorses or supports that someone. An intelligent voter doesn’t really need a celebrity to tell them who to vote for.
Well thank you for sharing your well thought out points.
Most celebrities are actors with script. They are paid to market a product.
That is probably very true. There is always an agenda.
I never listen to the advice of famous people, but I do my decision
I don’t mind hearing an opinion, but I hate to be told what to do.
Exactly so friend-listening advice is always welcome
I also don’t care about the political agendas of celebrities. They are always trying to push some agenda or market themselves.
I know their concerns are not what mine are.
It seems to me that listening to celebrities advices in the spheres not connected with their professional interests is a simple waste of time.
I would agree with you on that point.
I agree with you I never listen to celebrities for I’m stubborn and make up my own mind. I’m not American but then NZ politics are for a smaller population
I spent some time in New Zealand and I very much enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Most celebrities I avoid like the plague discussing politics since they live in a make believe world. When I try to tweet them kind comments, I get crickets. But If I tweet that they are overrated and their super hero movies stink, I get insults like “How can you live with yourself?” Answer to the actor who played Iron Man is to spend one day at La Palma in the Darien Province and you will find out how the other side of the fence lives. Happy as can be.
Somehow people equate money with respect and knowledge. I do not.
The best way to enjoy life as a rich person is to learn to share it with others who are in need. For the record, I only know of the Darien Province is due to the end of the Pan America Highway in Yaviza Panama and the new start in northwest Colombia due to the thick forest known as The Darien Gap.
