    I find it hilarious that anybody would go on stage and endorse political candidate who has never met them.

    Might as well have just said “I’m hoping to sell my music to racists and establish myself as ‘one of the good ones’”.

      Why would meeting a political candidate be necessary to understand their policy positions and ability, advance then, and relative merits of the alternative? Democracy wouldn’t work if that were needed.

      Who’d have thought the profit motive would lead to outcomes that aren’t always for the benefit of society.
