Celebrities and musicians: could you just shut up, please?

Bob Greene : Celebrities and musicians have been desperately trying to boost Kamala Harris' candidacy.

He says Beyonce , Bruce Springsteen , Beyonce and Barack Obama are among those supporting her.

Greene : Oprah produced a “how can you be so wonderful” extravaganza full of screens of other people famous for being famous, only to watch Kamala descend into epic word salads, manic cackling and inartful dodging of the friendliest of questions. Oprah was trying to humanize Harris , but that Herculean task was betrayed by Oprah 's facial expressions.

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

Mike McDaniel : Self-government requires work. It takes research, careful thought, reading, and sorting political propaganda from objective reality.

D/s/cs would rather you didn’t do any of that. Listen to them. Obey them. They’re entertainers.
