I agree with those.

Do What You Can is about something the entire world is going through, with varying degrees of success.

It's message is no more political than Undivided.

This may be so, but Undivided doesn't have large groups of idiots denying it's real.

Salaam Aleikum,

Its back door politics. Aka Topical

The Corona Virus became a very political topic and if you watch the video to Do What You Can, that's basically what the song is in reference to.

Jon is also known to be a super left winged Democrat which doesnt sit well with a lot of people from the South.

Jon isn't even a socialist, let alone Marxist. God American political discourse is depressing.

Exactly. Jon is a centrist Democrat same as me. In the US, there is still quite a few of the centrists in both parties though the progressive and extreme conservative faction in both get all the coverage.

In the UK he would probably be bang in the middle and be open to voting for both major parties depending on the circumstances.

James yes, speaking for myself I am the same! Definitely socially liberal but more fiscally conservative.

This still doesn't explain how the song is remotely political.

Find me a "political" line in the song.

Just because someone thinks the video has political leanings (which I also disagree with) has no bearing on if the song is played on country radio.

No one saw the video anyway, unless you intentionally searched for it.
