Uh, my argument was the reverse: That it is celebrity worship, and that celebrities have proven substantially more effective presidents. Reagan and Trump have easily been the most influential presidents since Truman, and only because Truman used the bomb.
My point was that the problem with celebrities in the White House has been their right-wing agendas, not their celebrity status. Their celebrity status enabled them to achieve their agendas in a way that the other, mediocre presidents couldn’t.
Why should we select yet another boring, ignoreable, mainstream, career politician instead?

I’m fairly certain the person you’re arguing with is a plant. He’s probably a covert right-winger here to sow discord on the left.
I refuse to believe the average leftist is as mentally handicapped as it would seem from merely reading comments on internet forums.
The widespread compulsive self-sabotage on the left makes no sense otherwise.
