Not at all. I could care less what the privilaged think. For me, its all about the candidate and their stance on the issues that I think are driving the United States. Although, I guess its interesting to see.
I wouldn’t go as far to say it affects my vote… I would never blindly vote for a candidate just because a celebrity supports them, but I would definitely say if I share political opinions/beliefs with a celebrity, and they endorse a certain candidate, I will be more inclined to research that candidate and learn more about their platform.
