4. The Sarandons of this world make it easy for conservatives to roll their eyes at liberals.

Sarandon can AFFORD to have her unicorns. Most people aren't so lucky.

What's really disappointing is how celebrities take a smidgen of questionable info and run with it like it's a scientific truth. They scour the internets for anything that corroborates their opinion, and that makes it a fact. Bill Maher is one of the very worst offenders in this regard. He learns some surface-level talking points about X, spews them about like he's revealing some great hidden truth and then gets shot down by the conservative guests who need only offer a counterpoint. If I hear Mark Ruffalo give his entry level talk on fracking once more I'll shoot myself.

Sanders is cut from the same shallow cloth. No wonder they all band together.
