OT: American Politics

[thehabhater]

But who does she support?

I will give you a hint. The day after she posted her endorsement. Trump posted "I hate Taylor Swift"

 

[FlyGuy]

That's going to go viral as a motherfucker. This is probably the best way possible to get younger voters out tbh.

Big swifty?

 

[MindzEye]

But who does she support?

Cat ladies

 

[MindzEye]

Big swifty?

After every breakup, yeah.

Clark County and Washoe will both be blue and will carry Nevada.

Not sure AZ has seen a strong enough showing where it needs to yet, but it’s early.

Abortion is on the ballot in AZ. Harris will win.

I'm actually surprised that everything seems to be running pretty smoothly so far.

 

[FlyGuy]

oh, way more than that.

Though I guess 10-20 million is technically made up of hundreds of thousands....

'member...Tay Tay has 283 million social media followers. Not all Americans of course, but still.

I’ll never get this idea that democrats cling to that celebrity endorsements are meaningful

I am hearing that Kari Lake's filter is not working...

I know you can write in names but thought you had to be 18 to get elected?


Edit : actually isn't it 30 for Prez?

Or under 18 to date Matt Gaetz

… what? You know interfering on ED benefits the Democrats and Putin has said his candidate of choice is Kamala?

I actually believe you think this

 

[FlyGuy]

You know that was tongue in cheek and is a running joke on Russian pundit shows, right?

Idk no one is trying to assassinate Kamala haha

It's not necessarily the power of the endorsement, but the social pressure they can put on awareness and involvement.

Take Swift for example, a huge portion of her fans are probably pretty apolitical. It's just way more common in that 18-29 yr old demo to not care about politics in general. When someone like Taylor Swift 1) introduces issues that matter to you & 2) makes it cool within your peer group to care about those issues, wild shit can happen.

Yeah, I generally agree regarding most celeb endorsements. Though I appreciate him, Harrison Ford wouldn't be changing the way I vote. But for someone as wildly popular as Tay Tay and her influence on a demo that is typically apolitical, it can be a big deal.

 

[hockeylover]

That Taylor Swift video is an old one, I believe.

 

[MindzEye]

If the Russians sent an assassin, that layup of a shot would have been the end of him. You know this.

Some confused muppet of a kid, and an even more confused muppet of an adult did some shit. Hardly the type of work you would get from someone who invented polonium soup.

That have been reported.

Like Jim Brown's daughter? Or Danica Patrick? Or Chachi?

Celebrity endorsements are pretty dumb, yeah. But there's a reason Hulk Hogan tore his shirt at the RNC convention. And yeah why FlyGuy was giddy when Rogan put his endorsement out.

given how eagerly the right gloms to any C-list celebrity that supports Trump, this is hilarious BS.

MLK's endorsement nearly swayed me...
