Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

A broken clock is right twice a day. She's still a capitalist multi-millionaire and complicit in the corrupt music industry and has defended TicketMaster/LiveNation for their monopoly of live music. Like everything she does, it's all performative.
Quite literally, if I saw the headline "Taylor Swift Performance Stops Trump Presidency" I would believe it given how messed up our timeline is.
Are we sure she is not pro Trump?
Ah, good for her.
So she is a product of it, was raised in it, succeeded in it and is working to make it better for others and you are mad about that?
She's another Hollywood multi-millionaire nepo baby whose only success came from whose legs she slid out of.
I don't give a fuck that she's a multi millionaire. You know why? Let's look at some math:
Why the hell should I be upset at her advocating for people to go register to vote? Is 10M-100M too much wealth? Yeah, but I'm far more concerned about the people making billions by sitting on their asses than I am about someone making millions by being an immensely popular song writer and singer (whose music is awesome).
This is like yelling at a retail worker for their return policy instead of yelling at the executives, who the worker is actively agreeing fucking suck. You're falling for a talking point that the billionaires love to use to spread division. Like it or not, Taylor Swift not only works for her money, but she's also been fucked over by billionaires in recording studios. She is closer to working class than she is to the filthy rich.
I hope she sees this dude.
Her complicity in the TicketMaster/LiveNation monopoly is reason enough for me to hate her. Sorry but you're not gonna change my mind. I appreciate the effort you put in your comment though
Eh, have an upvote for appreciating the argument even if we still disagree.
Look, I slid out of a poor's legs. I too am jelly.
Everything we all do is performative, especially your outrage.
Also isn't she the single worst person for private jet usage on the planet or something?
In what world are conservatives obsessed with private jets? Private jets are fucking awful for the environment, the thing conservatives famously dont care about.
So its about "owning the libs" not caring about the environment.
And does republicans using the argument make it wrong by default?
read my comment again. I said they famously dont care about the enviroment.
