Perhaps JT> your candidate is spectacularly *un*popular. That would explain it, but no, Trump had nearly 1/2 of the country voting for him in his re-election (maybe even slightly more than 1/2!) Why aren't the celebrities more evenly divided, like the normal people? There's something about Trump that threatens their livlihood, but I haven't pinpointed it yet.

Maybe Bon Jovi had no clue that he'd be helping to ruin the country when he spoke those magic words about "vote for Biden."

I didn't hear Bon Jovi complaining about Trump. Was he? I won't listen to him anymore anyway. Bon Jovi's probably intimidated by Trump because Trump actually helps people instead of just having them suck on his nipple. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/64) * Origin: CompuBBS | Ashburn VA | cfbbs.scinet-ftn.org (1:275/99) .
