probably maximizing impact doing it when more people are talking about the two candidates. also avoids some potential criticism because she hadn’t released her policy plan until about right now. so now you got policies+debate+L+ratio
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.
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”?
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…
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.
Question, when you move to a new place in Spain, do you need to register residency with the police?
I don’t know if Spain does that or not, but I think Italy does some version.
The United States doesn’t have that, and doesn’t have a national id card. Although most people effectively register themselves to get a driver license, that is only required if you drive. So voter registration nominally provides some way for the government to get the information on residency, which is important for figuring out which local elections you need to vote in.
Now recently, in the last couple of decades, some states started requiring photo id verification to vote. This defeats the purpose of having a separate voter registration system, because you still have to go to the driver registration system to get either a driver license, or a non-driving photo ID. Nevertheless, the separate voter registration system has hung around in every single one of these states, because the real goal is to prevent people from voting.
She commands one of the most loyal fan followings in existence. It’s like, moving the needle percentages large and loyal, and also, disproportionately in places like GA, NC, FL, where it’s still tough going for Kamala.
So let’s hear the opinion of a genius: where does the government spend billions of propaganda in? Where do the red and blue party spend all their electoral campaign money on? How did an artist with mediocre skills become a billionare and so popular that their endorsing of a politician gets spammed multiple times on lemmy feed?
Corporate mass media article with ties to the government talking about a billionare celebrity endorsing the government. Where do you think they spend billions or dollars in propaganda on? If you search enough you can probably find the receipts of their deals.
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.
One of the most influential people currently alive endorsing a political candidate is absolutely news.
And like what was she waiting for? Before the debate was she unsure?

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 know :(
It’s ok I’d be just as excited if you endorsed her.
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”?

More so helps motivate people to vote who otherwise migh not have done so
it can motivate politically passive swifties

One of our two parties wins more when more people vote.
Therefore, the other party must oppose voting by the largest groups, such as young people and people who live in cities.
The less popular party also has disproportionate control of government policy.
Which is to say, they oppose democracy itself. It is only a question of degree

Not with the police. With the town hall. It’s not mandatory but saves you some headaches with paperwork.
You could say that about any endorsement ever.
She commands one of the most loyal fan followings in existence. It’s like, moving the needle percentages large and loyal, and also, disproportionately in places like GA, NC, FL, where it’s still tough going for Kamala.
She got thousands of her fans to register to vote not long ago. I’m guessing they’ll vote for who she wants whether she tells them to or not.
I find it hard to believe but according to a fan of hers I once talked to, they would vote for a rabid raccoon if she endorsed it.
https://youtu.be/DAp-9N2VR_o?si=po7kgETj0dbowZL9 By all means, vote for a rabid raccoon.
That’s not very empathic of you.
I’m just referencing Brooklyn 99…
Probably not, but I’m sure some people are really gonna go, “I wasn’t going to bother voting, but Taylor said I should vote for Kamala.”
At this point, this is a game of turnout.
and it’s absolutely propaganda
How stupid are you, really?
The propaganda it’s so evident in this case that the ones not seeing it may be stupid for real
I’m sorry to break the news to you, but you’re definitely not as smart as your mom told you

You should work harder on your English before continuing your own propaganda, considering your audience!
Explain how this is propaganda for my dumb ass
Corporate mass media article with ties to the government talking about a billionare celebrity endorsing the government. Where do you think they spend billions or dollars in propaganda on? If you search enough you can probably find the receipts of their deals.
Some unsubstantiated claims and a plea for me to do your research for you ain’t gonna cut it for this dumbass
Believe what you want it’s your life
K I’ll believe that it’s not propaganda. Good talk 👍
What’s the propaganda?
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.
