    One of the most influential people currently alive endorsing a political candidate is absolutely news.

      I know she’s popular, but are people really gonna go “I was going to vote for Trump, but Taylor said I should vote for Camala, so that’s what I’ll do”?

        I’ve never like actually voted before but Taylor wouldn’t talk about it if it weren’t important

        Then they do their research (well they did, they read her post) and tap her story to get registered. She follows it up with another post around Election Day and they go vote.

        (No offense Swifties, just using one example. We can’t all be highly politically active, high-information citizens. Those who are will have gaps elsewhere in their lives instead.)

          That “get registered” is one of the things I don’t understand why hasn’t been changed. In Spain you can vote the moment you are 18. No need to register anywhere. The only register that need to be updated is “where you live”, so you go vote to your nearest location.

        She stated that since someone on Truth Social posted an AI-generated image of her endorsing Trump she felt she must set the record straight.

        She wrote why she’s voting for Kamala. She then encouraged her fans to research the candidates and decide for themselves which one best represented their own viewpoints.

        I did like her reminder that if you’re a new voter you do need to register first!

        But at no point did she tell anyone who to vote for…

        Correct. Propaganda doesn’t need to be unfactual. Using a celebrity figure to promote a certain party or ideology because idiots with no music taste love to worship this “musician” is propaganda… whether we like the party she advocates for or not.

        It’s entirely possible she wasn’t going to endorse anyone until Trump started with the AI saying she endorsed him.

        It’s because she’s rich bitch who wants to sell. No other reason.

          I take it no one ever told you just how much of a dick you are.

          So I’ll help you out here — you’re a dick. You might want to see someone about that.

          Or don’t and continue being a dick on useless social media platforms where literally nothing matters just so you can feel smug and righteous within the confines of your inferiority complex.

            Didn’t think people would be such little weaklings when someone doesn’t like the crap they like.
