Taylor Swift endorses Harris

[coati]

MAGAts, like the Taliban, regard independent women as Kryptonite.

Hell, they can't even tolerate a movie about Barbie.

 

[justmethatswho]

unlike trump, Taylor Swift isn't in the business of allowing or preventing people from voting

she's openly encouraging all Americans to register so they can vote for the candidate of their own choice.

the fact you opted to reply as you did isn't the flex you thought it was

My response was more of a shot at celebrity endorsements.

People should get out to vote, yet should also take time to be informed before casting their vote. No one should vote because a celebrity they like says vote for my candidate.

Yawn...another "bothsides"er.

What? How do you get that from my single line post? Unless since I did not get in line with all the lemmings, you assume you know more than you do.

Rory is a troll. Don't feed the trolls.

i agree with what you say, but again point out that Taylor Swift did not do that: she encourages people to vote for who they want to vote for. At no time has she ever told or asked her fans to vote for Kamala Harris, only given the reasons why Harris is her own preferred choice.

Isn't that precisely what an endorsement is? Otherwise why make the endorsement?

endorsement is: an act of giving one's public approval or support to someone or something

Thank you butters, what she did is the definition of endorsement.

Endorsing someone is telling them what you think. Not telling others how to think. Taylor Swift's post specifically encouraged people to do their research for their important issues.

It’s amazing to me that the evangelicals who vote for DonOld don’t recognize their inner Taliban / Jihadist.

Why does the sex offender felon need the endorsement of Taylor Swift when he has Kid Rock, who sings songs like ‘Cool Daddy Cool’.

Or Ted Nugent with songs like ‘Jailbait’:

Both with paedophilia lyrics that would not be allowed on this site.

To quote Miss Swift:

"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election," Swift said in a post on Instagram to her more than 283 million followers. "I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."

adrina, it is quite evident she is stating what she thinks. The statement also fits the definition for an endorsement. (an act of giving one's public approval or support to someone or something) Which Miss Swift did in her X

To Miss Swift's credit, after endorsing Harris/Walz, she goes on to encourage people to do their own research and register to vote.

In the end adrina, you agree with what I wrote previously.

My biggest question is... Has ANYONE on this thread, Right Left or Center, EVER had their vote influenced in any way by an "endorsement, lack of endorsement, or a switched endorsement?"

Taylor Swift is a influencer. Don't be ridiculous.

Um, a fuckton of people switched their vote when Jim Clyburn endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 Democratic Primary and when President Biden, Jim Cyburn, etc, etc, etc, endorsed Kamala Harris in the flash Democratic Primary after President Biden passed the torch..



Also:

People switch / determine their vote for any number of reasons - and a celebrity endorsement is definitely one of them.

Hope that ^ helps.

Thanks.
I've never let mine be influenced like that, not even when the teachers "prostituted" grade school kids, by putting them beside a busy state highway, holding up signs to vote to raise property taxes. (Something the kids didn't understand, which had already failed to pass on two previous votes)

when did you start hating kids?

You're a clueless MFr... There'll be shitloads of kids who'll be devastated that I can't make it to the October Liberty Festival.

When it comes to politics, elections, governance and society, an anarchist will never understand: how a coalition works,; how compromise works; how concessions work, and how coalescence works.

yes, she gave her full endorsement

your earlier post isn't about endorsement, it's a sarcastic dig about permission to vote; at least, that is a valid understanding of it

justmethatswho said:
oh so perfect, now that Taylor says so, I can vote.

while i'm glad you have clarified about wanting people to vote after they educate themselves at least a little, endorsement does not equate to permission unless one operates in trump's ugly circles.

 

[Boat1]

I never stopped caring about children or liberty... Matter of fact, I'm the opposite of what you claim.
I do, however, see taxation as theft and forced association as tyranny.

First, please, let's see if we define "anarchy" the same.
It simply means "without a leader".... not the bastardized version, of burning other people's property and such.

With that thought established, coupled with the "Quaker Principle of nonaggression" there's nothing wrong with my thought, even if it doesn't align with yours.
I'll also add, combined with those values, if "forced association" is removed from our daily lives "compromise" is no longer needed.

Good, as from your post you seemed to be thinking or implying that an endorsement is telling others how to vote.
