Remember when the Dixie Chicks were cancelled? There’s your answer as to why mainstream musicians won’t risk it.

Remember when Rage Against The Machine did a surprise show outside of the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles? I wish they'd do it again.

Except they pulled a bunch of both-sides bullshit and probably hurt turnout for Gore.

Nader (the future Green Party) hurt Gore a lot too, and then in 2016 we had to listen to Paul fucking Ryan say how big a Rage fan he was.

I love RATM and Zach de la Rocha, especially with more recent collabs with RTJ, but unless they are gonna focus on swing voters in 3 goddamn states, I don’t see it helping.

Gore won the election, so maybe they helped. Supreme Court interference took it away.
