    thank you for giving a real answer ! there's no right or wrong answer, just want to get opinions.
    like real ones.

    i thought the Do and ? was good clue but apparently some people on this thread are confused.

    is it effective?

    the president is a reality tv star on a show that portrayed him as business genius, but it's a show.
    like ESPN's First Take which Clutchfans would give their left nut to be on.

    But at the same time, should I listen to LeBron because he feels whatever he says is the most important topic?
    But I'm a James Harden fan, so he hasn't told me who I should follow.

    Apologies for getting off on the wrong foot. There's a long history of pop culture and politics merging when when the time is right. When the intent is for positive change, I think it is a good thing.

    A good example...

    Go Rockets.

    I hate to interrupt that this is a good song, but Genesis got the best political video of all time!

    Me personal i'm not a fan of Lebron but what he thinks is his feelings the same with Harden.Their has been others that have open there pie holes like nugent and k rock whom have open their pie holes and said nothing smart so i don't listen to any of them even though they have a right to voice what they feel.

    This is what I said.

    You starting a thread about yourself with a bunch of dumb pictures of pop references and a lie about what I said is an excellent example of the problem.

    Do I care that they say things? No.

    Do I care what they say? No.

    Do I reserve the right to either mock or praise them? Yes.

    For the most part its good they bring awareness to issues. Usually issues they bring awareness are causes outside of politics.

    When they get involved in current affairs it can be annoying and condescending. However Bill Maher and John Stewart have been really good even though i dont always agree with them. They are knowledgeable but they are supposed to be given the nature of their programs

    There’s nothing about me on this topic
    It’s just a yes or no question and some reasoning
    For the answer

    My answer is no, mainly because I have no idea if LeBron or Billie Eilish or Donald Trump (pre-2016) have anything more than a superficial take on politics and I don’t like how they can influence millions just by saying things. That’s not me complaining about them, hell, might as well use the power if you got it if you think it’s for good, but trusting an athlete or a reality show, failed businessman for political advice, or really any advice beyond their field, is just insanity to me.

    It would be like going to a librarian and asking them what it feels like to play professional basketball...they might know how to play, might even play some pickup ball on the side, but all they can give you is an opinion (elbows and a-holes).
