Beto O'Rourke is running for president, but there is no sign that hestands for anything good.

He has given the fossil fuel industry plenty of cooperation.

He is a political example of a celebrity — someone famous for being famous.

Daniel Boorstin, in The Image, pointed out how Americans were coming to adulate celebrities instead of heroes (people who were famous for what they had done). In US politics, we still have real heroes to admire, alongside plenty of real evildoers. Let's not waste our attention on celebrities.

One thing about Beto O'Rourke that is not an objection to him as a candidate is that he belonged to the Cult of the Dead Cow.

However, that is not a reason to vote for him.
