Kind of agree, but he has shown he's willing to fight for great causes despite his notoriety, he tends to speak truth to power, and he already knows what it means to be famous, so I guess it's better than a lot of alternatives.
And he has the charisma and speaking ability to actually win
Plus, he put a medal on a nazi so he doesn't speak ill of Big Pharma again. He knows how to fall in line and do what he's told.
Man who farted in here
Again, not to take away from that... but it's easy to "speak truth to power" when you are not in power
It's not about the ease of it. It's the reflection of his character. He has enough money to fuck off and never peep again and live a life of luxury. He doesn't.
and he is getting handsomely paid to continue his show... if you'd tell me he retired from TV to just become and activist you'd have a solid point
He did retire and did become an activist. He came back because of popular demand. Which is not something most politicians could or would do.
He was willing to go against Apple while being paid by Apple. I still have a valid point, and you have nothing but negativity. Sad.
Sure a millionaire who could retire tomorrow and live in luxury for 3 lifetimes is not afraid of stop working... wow, what courage
Sadly, you seem to be too deep in the problem to understand you are just adding fuel to the dumpster fire
lol You are a truly pathetic projectionist.
You clearly don't know anything about being an activist if you think quitting his national TV gig to dedicate more time to activism makes any sense at all.
Activism is about reach and impact, not doing performative stunts that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Getting in front of the camera every day and talking about the things that matter in an accessible way is far more effective than gluing your hands to a freakin crosswalk.
Do you want to know why the left isn't organized? It's because people like you are always ready to trash anyone who shows even a little promise of being a leader.
