    I’d rather they not vote at all if they’re just basing their choice on what some billionaire entertainer says.

      It’s about sending a message, setting a signal. People should think for themselves, I agree, but come on. Do you ignore all other forms of influence people experience or what weird world do you live in?

        what weird world do you live in?

        The one where shitloads of people let celebrities influence how they think.

          I hate to break it to you, but Trump himself was a celebrity turned president. So we’ve no choice but to live in a world where celebrity seems to be important as some kind of qualification. His other qualification was “businessman” aka used-car-salesman.
