Democrats Are Running Out of Star Power
Derek Hunter
You can see why Democrats were so desperate for Taylor Swift to endorse Kamala Harris: they have nothing else. While the vast majority of the entertainment industry, when not covering up for Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes or attending P Diddy's humiliation orgies, is absolutely at home with the Democratic Party, the “star power” of the entertainment world has severely faded. Who are the “stars” anymore? No names leap to mind, which leaves the party with recycling has-beens in an attempt to appeal to an ever-dwindling slice of the public who not only cares, but also has any idea who these people are.
Swift is a star – you won’t find anyone outside of a coma ward who doesn’t know who she is. Whether or not they like her has more to do with whether or not they have taste. Since a lot of people do not, she’s now a billionaire and probably the most famous woman on the planet.
As for movies, I don’t even know who would qualify these days. Maybe DiCaprio, but not in any real sense. He’s a good actor, but who cares beyond that? There’s no glamor attached to him, just a pathetic string of chicks old enough to be his daughter. I don’t begrudge or blame him, but that doesn’t turn an actor into a “movie star.”
