and stick to their professions instead of constantly bringing up politics.
they know culture is upstream from politics.
these people are potentially massive megaphones for liberal messaging and would consistently dominate/drown the media narrative.
its why conservatives throw a party any time any famous person comes out as conservative or a trump supporter.
these people have huge followings with years of trustworthiness built into the relationship.
an acute endorsement around election time...especially in the absence of a prolonged political message...has a limited effect.
but could you imagine if the kardashians, the rock, kevin hart, arod/jlo, etc went full partisan 24/7 and constantly countered the right wing media system by bringing things like voter suppression and extremist judicial nominations to their followers attention?
their reach would make fox news look like a wordpress blog.
