Celebrities like Oprah were paid $millions to endorse Kamala

Celebrities like Oprah and Beyoncé were paid $ millions to endorse Kamala Harris.

In billionaire Oprah’s case, it was $1 million. Beyoncé, whose net worth is estimated to be $800 million, got $10 million.

All of which not only put the Harris campaign, which had a war chest of $1 billion, millions more than the Trump campaign, into a $20 million debt, it also should raise questions as to political endorsements by so-called celebrities. If they really believe in their candidate, why would these already super-wealthy celebrities need to be paid millions of dollars to endorse?

Ordinary Democrat donors should feel really, really stupid because this is where their campaign contributions went to.

The whole concept of political endorsement is nonsensical:

1. Let’s say a group of garbage collectors declared they endorse Harris. We would laugh out loud. But for some strange reason, we are supposed to pay attention to political endorsements by actors, singers and other “entertainers”. How are they different from trash collectors? Neither group has political training, expertise, experience, or special knowledge.
2. Nor are political endorsements BY ANY OTHER GROUP or individuals any different. Politics is not nuclear physics: there is no special training or trove of knowledge involved. Voting in an election requires one thing from us — our informed judgment, which requires us to obtain information on the candidates (their beliefs, policy positions, and values) and the issues. With that information, we can then vote for the candidates and issues that best accord to our values, interests, and concerns. That is something we each can do, unless we are cognitively impaired. Why, then, would we need other people to tell us how we should vote? It makes no sense!!!
