Politics in Pop Culture: Do Celebrities Really Make a Difference?

Do you remember last election season, when all of these celebrities were posting about voting for Kamala Harris? I know I do. It seems they start making posts about voting every year.

I have one skincare product. Just one. More specifically, it’s CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, a product I chose after exactly zero dermatology consultations but dozens of TikToks convinced me it was a solid choice.
