MODERATORS
You do realize she didn't tell anyone who to vote for right? She included a link to register and provided her opinion and said, "Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make".
Just because the best the GOP could manage to con into joining was the washed up Kid Rock, that doesn't mean popular celebrities shouldn't voice their opinions.
She's using her platform to advocate that people register to vote, and to make their own decision. I don't see anyone in the GOP reaching out to try and have more people register to vote. They're doing the exact opposite and trying to disenfranchise as many voters as possible since, historically, higher turnout works against them.
I think their overall point is a valid one. If tomorrow someone with that much influence just decides to voice their opinion it would HEAVILY sway the vote. I'm glad she said the right thing and everything it's still scary.
Good comparison is probably Elon Musk, who has a lot of influence, owns social media, and is the richest person on the planet. Need a few more Taylor Swifts to counter that.
Your implication that swhift didn't have bias in encouraging people to register to vote is laughable. She's absolutely has been vocal about her opinions.
I never claimed she was unbiased. Or that she didn't endorse a specific candidate. Her choice was clear from the get go, regardless of the endorsement. My point was she didn't tell people how they should vote.
Yet, then.
Petty bickering. Moreover, rather than discuss the topic, you're attacking the individual through some opinion or explanation they give. Even then you're doing it poorly. Come now. lol
You're just all sorts wrong. Next time, stop, breathe, and wait 15 seconds to reconsider your post.
