For the celebs: "See and be seen while supporting a good cause my people tell me is good."

For the pols: "Celebrity is popular, therefor so are we."

Our President and his wife routinely show up in TV shows and on daytime television.

Celebrity holds more sway over modem voters than any political platform ever could. And we're too stupid to be ashamed.

It's to help get more votes from stupid and shallow people.

"Oh hey it's Snoop Dogg! I liked that one song Gin and Juice back in the early 90's I think I'll vote for Hilldawg now."

I've seen this on the left more than the right.

Think of how Scientologists use celebrities to push their shit. Classic advertising trick.

Hollywood is overwhelmingly liberal and Jew-influenced as is the media.

They have sway and I doubt they'd even bother with such antics if it weren't shown to work. It's all about celebrity. Obama beat politicians more seasoned than him because he was a cool black guy. Trump rejuvenated GOP voters largely because he's a fucking cartoon character.

Seems to me most folks who get into performing arts and shit like that lean liberal. It's big time virtue-signaling, probably none more than the Hollywood-type elite feel the need to get on TV and show the world what good people they are in spite of their millions. The left makes it easy. Lots of moral gratification with little to no actual sacrifice. Symbiotic relationship.

I kind of liked having Clint Eastwood and chuck Norris supporting the republicans, even though they're probably cuckservatives

They pay a lot of money to be seen there. It's a networking event that tends to be mutually beneficial to both parties. In the e-mails from the DNC, there was a chart dictating how much it cost to sit close to President Obama. Not only that, but he worked directly with them and intimately knew his market value in that capacity. The closer you sit to Obama, the more you gotta pay.

Furthermore, the direct collusion of MSM producers and higher-ups with the DNC, and their close working relationship with Hillary throughout those same 20k e-mails showcases how intertwined those organizations and people really are. This begs the question of how much money is changing hands with whom when you see those celebrities, but I'd be hard pressed to believe that any of them that appear on the news/TV didn't explicitly desire to appear there. I'd be willing to bet that there are many celebrities who attend those types of events often that you never see.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. And not just actors... musicians and sports figures also act like they are some kind of authority. NEWS FLASH: You're tall and you can put a ball into a hoop. That doesn't mean you understand foreign relations.

I remember several years ago when Honey Boo Boo said she wanted to vote for Obama and everyone on Kotaku was praising her like she was some brilliant little girl.
