Why do we rely on celebrities for so many of our important decisions? There is an overwhelming amount of people with parasocial relationships in which are a little bit too dedicated. Dedicated to the point to where people do not make their own decisions on who they will vote for in the Presidential election. Celebrities like Donald Trump, Kate Walsh, and Cher are noted as being some of the most frequently tweeting celebrities about politics. But do they really know what they are talking about? And if so, should we base our own options and beliefs on theirs simply because we like the characters that they portray on television or because we like the way they look? We, as American citizens, should take the great opportunity we have been given and simply do our own research and form our own beliefs. Also, people get so much information about the Presidential election off of solely twitter. I’m sorry, but I was not aware so many people were politicians. People see things on twitter and are not informed about the topic at hand. Just because you see someone put something on twitter, does not mean that it is accurate. I did watch every debate, and from what I saw on twitter; not many other people did. There is ignorance all over twitter when it comes to the topic and an incredible amount of things that I never saw happen, apparently happened during the debate. I feel that if you are not informed, you should not state your opinion to the public, nor vote.
