Personally I don't really mind if the band themselves don't mind. I tend to believe the political is personal so if a band makes politics part of their music, good for them I say. It's what they believe, I applaud anyone who has the nerve to make art about things that are important. At least they can be liked or disliked for who they really are. And if an artist doesn't want, for example, a politician of a different stripe to use their music for their campaigning, I totally get that.
But if the artists themselves don't mind, then I don't mind.
