if we define a celebrity as a positive attention maximizer (ie, not a committed partisan) it's obvious why most of them, and most of the best ones, would be lefty
-
going right is a minority strategy, people who can't compete against the best players for the best attention pool switch to playing for a smaller, less desirable one
-
attention sponges probably follow a power law dist, so there's some cutoff after which a mediocre to decent player in the main game can switch and be one of the best in a smaller game
-
this all (very roughly) balances out to where quality of top dogs in a space correlate with quality of the space
-
as a sidenote this is more or less the same reasoning I used to explain to a trp-ish friend why some men going full feminist (docile, emotion-harmonizing, etc) was a viable pussy strategy
-
largest/best pool of women want stereotypical "alpha" traits, smaller pool want feminine (not "beta" signifying "bad at alpha" but just "good at something different") traits
-
so reasonably competent can switch and get outsize reward from a different pool than they could trying to compete within the main pool

(this is all a completely different thing than like, actual leaders. I don't think the attention-maxxing media cycle darling is really all that valuable tbh)
