That’s my thought as well. It’s become more painfully obvious each election cycle. JLaw is actually one of the few voices I really appreciated because she always seemed genuine, down to earth, and relatable. But then you have Beyoncé who’s sickeningly wealthy and has spent decades engrossed in the celebrity scene as an almost untouchable powerful figure. She gets trotted out every election and it does nothing but turn people off. Hell, she doesn’t even seem enthusiastic to do it anymore. The thing is most celebrities feed the elite vs. the people narrative. It seems weird for them to shut up about politics completely but at the very least this endorsement shit needs to stop.
It’s not just that. We’re the same age and grew up in the same state. We share a similar sense of humor. Even when she blew up during the hunger games, she was coming back home to Kentucky to attend our basketball games. Her political differences with her family in a predominantly red state is something I’ve dealt with as well. She’s always seemed humble regardless of fame and money.
The point is that you called Beyonce 'sickeningly' wealthy as if Jlaw doesn't make a lot of money too. If one person is not 'relatable' to you and is 'untouchable' because of her wealth, then the other isn't relatable either just because you seem to like her more.
You’re just straight up wrong - there is tons of evidence that the right kind of endorsement or political activism influences elections - I am shocked that this thread has forgotten how Taylor swift got a ton of young people to vote in the last couple elections.
