Can I just ask what gives George Clooney the right to speak on matters of politics? Last time I checked he was still and actor.
These people have no idea the damage they are doing.
Celebrity status does not mean wisdom or expertise.
@LnzyHou No. But as celebrities they should be mindful of how their words carry weight with many people. And penning an op ed about Biden stepping aside is only aggravating a tense situation.
So they should lose their free speech.
@LnzyHou No, they should not.
I'll concede this.
I'm only saying where was his op ed, or any other celebrity, about how DJT isn't fit to run?
They're gaslighting their own people imo.
Clooney has openly criticized trump over the years.
@LnzyHou Perhaps today isn't the right day for me to have this discussion.
I just don't like seeing the D's eating themselves right now. The stakes are too high. It truly makes me sad.
It is tumultuous TK but freedom of speech must be honored. We don’t get to decide who is worthy & who is not.
My own opinions on Biden vascillate the more I listen to younger gens. They are sick to death of old men running the country and losing their personal rights.
I heard Biden say he would be single term POTUS which made him acceptable considering g his age. He’s done a good job.
But is he placeholder for Harris?
So much is unknown because everyone lies.
@Tacitus_Kilgore Well his wife is (was? not sure of the status) a human rights lawyer. But yeah... what's he flapping about? I'm out of the loop
@Tacitus_Kilgore First Amendment thing, I suppose. He doesn't have a right to be taken seriously.😏
@Marc_T_Benedict @Tacitus_Kilgore Yeah he can talk all he wants but he’s making things worse.
@bmacmixer @Tacitus_Kilgore From some of the responses I've seen, he might be making things worse for himself as well as the rest of us.
@Tacitus_Kilgore I do believe that if a person has a platform they could use to convince people to choose good, they should use it.
But part of what comes with that is they might be an idiot, or simply disagree with me.
Elite status doesn't make a person any smarter or capable. The solution is to not build an artificial elite in the first place.
@AskTheDevil It's not about free speech, it's how much influence they have on people. And I agree with your artificial elite statement.
@AskTheDevil The thing with famous role models or influencers is that they either fall from grace on their own, or, we crucify them for being human. They're no more "special" than you or I, they just have better publicity.
@Tacitus_Kilgore
So celebrities lose their right to free speech?
