Why are most of the artists in the USA democrats?

[branamil]

Because conservatism in the US is an anti-science religious and racist cult. Not exactly the breeding grounds for creativity and the arts.

Because pop media stars -- even RR Martin -- are trying to be a cool and popular artist. So they go with what is cool and popular politically. Sometimes, while they are doing this they actually get interested in politics and learn some shit and form an actual opinion. But this is rare.

Being a Socialist is cool. It makes you edgy and more interesting than other people. You get to be leftwing without being a pussy. As long as no one finds out your gay and you don't sound like a total flamer -- you can hang on to that white male macho shit.

Nah tons of conservatives believe in science. We'd just rather the planet burn than share it with the obese or useless

Not disagreeing, but we're both guilty of the anti-science bullshit. The Anti-Vaxxers are predominantly left leaning.

I mean look at the "third" party for the left, their leader jill stein is an anti-vaxxer...

Although she is because of libertarian ideology... are the libtarians anti-vaxx? I mean most of them are, but are thier leadership?

I know a lot of libertarians that are anti-vaxx. But not as many lefties.

However I Know more lefties that are staunchly anti, anti-vaxx than I do righties.... so its a bit muddy.
