Taylor Swift endorses Harris

Her statement doesn't mean shit. It's actions that matter, and the fact that she didn't right away follow the other 95% in the entertainment industry speaks volumes. 

That says she was waiting for Harris to demonstrate enough competence to be POTUS. Duh

I fail to see how a "Swiftie" would be inclined to vote MAGA. 

But a politically ambivalent Swiftie might decide to vote seeing the rhetoric being flung at her. 

Young people are often stuck in political allegiance by their parents and easily led away in rebellion.

Not if Harris crashed and burned.

Do you think she wasn't conflicted? If so, why didn't she immediately set everyone straight the second she learned about the fake endorsement? 

It's because she WAS conflicted. 

Now stop being a woke dumbass. You're embarrassing yourself. 

You're embarrassing yourself with your fake bravado and arrogance as usual.

I would surmise that the vast majority of Swifties are too young to vote

the liberal white women who are Swifties are already Democrats

so I don't see it making a difference

You often don't see the truth. Cognitive dissonance causes that.

if they are actually conservative, they wouldn't be swayed by the endorsement of a vacuous pop star

What makes you believe Swift is "vacuous"?

Just an ASSumption based on your MAGA CULT bias? LMAO

it was merely a formality and so Swift endorsing Harris is not going to change much. 

It doesn't have to change much to make a large difference in a very tight race.

it really comes down to the 1A, the 2A, Immigration & the Economy

the Democrats are so bad on those four things, that they are propping Trump up therein

Not really. Democrats poll much more highly on most of Trump's issues.

It's ONLY the MAGA CULT that is propping Trump up.

I have yet to see any actual evidence that the story is anything more than fabrications. links to articles does not work for me so hold off. To buy into a fabrication like this says that either one is braindead or gullible.

its like that "story" about the pizza place having a child trafficking ring in the basement. Complete fabrication and yet certain folks bought into it and still passionately believe that it happened even when it was debunked. That sort of blind stupidity is why I dislike politicos. 

MAGA CULTHOOD makes people DELUSIONAL

well I have never endorsed Trump, because he is a loose cannon

but the Democrat policies and narratives are literally so repulsive to half the population

that Trump continues to get away with it

You keep describing obvious characteristics of CULTS.

Easy f*ckface, you need to slow down. lol

Now, I know this is difficult for a woke psychopath to capture, but people do change over time, even if it's only four years.  

The silly b*tch didn't pounce the second she learned about the fake endorsement, and that's because she was probably conflicted. Again, perverts like you never change; it's obvious that you are too stunted to see the bigger picture, so naturally you are going to lash out at what you don't understand. You're basically wild animals with spray paint and molotov cocktails. 

Now, what you need to do, is step away from your computer, take your meds and get some fresh air. You need it. 

You need to stop being keyboard warrior for Trump. You're really bad at it, cause your LIES are OBVIOUS.

You are off topic. My point is that politicos will believe anything.. they do not need any actual evidence. If I was to make up a story about hispanics in whateverville imprisoning white women in a cave and eating them.. a politico would not flinch. They would without hesitation believe me and even if I came out and said, "yeah, it was complete BS".. they would still believe it. That sort of blind faith is not something I respect. 

You're not the CULT leader. ONLY der leader has that power over the CULT.

the point is that truth and facts cease to matter in a war

is there some truth to the pet eating story ?

perhaps there are some incidents of this occurring

but it doesn't matter, because I would vote against the Democrats no natter what Trump said

it's not a vote for Trump, it's a vote against the Democrats

der leader really has you brainwashed against the Democrats cause you vote for Trump and pretend it's NOT a vote for Trump.

I can see that, actually. It's exactly what demon worshipping sociopaths would do when they know their candidate isn't even worth monkey spunk. 

Good one, pervert. I think you might have something here.  

The ONLY "demon" in this race is Trump who LOST and then put his own election over the will of the VOTERS with VIOLENCE.

[robosmith]

13 hours ago, Dougie93 said:

well the Democrats are in a statistical tie in every single battleground state

when polling has consistently underrated the Trump vote by 6-7 points

which means the Democrats should assume that they are probably behind

so we see the Democrat media vastly overrating the Swift endorsement

as if everybody didn't know already that she is a Democrat

Being a Democrat doesn't mean anyone will AUTOMATICALLY vote for Harris given the process that put her in the race was NOT democratic. No true Democrat wants a candidate who won't win the general.

Harris just demonstrated she's competitive.

Hey, you bedwetters have it down to a science; what can I say. You project your bullshit onto your political opponents and too many clueless Americans buy into it. 

You keep demonstrating you're the most clueless American with your allegiance to the MAGA CULT which makes you believe everything Trump says, even when he flip flops routinely.

Wondered how long she would be able to sit on the fence. 

Taylor swift is an entertainer. Right?

 

This is about as newsworthy as a king being endorsed by the court jester.

Be honest now, Trump would have killed for her endorsement.

I'm pretty sure that if he would've killed for her endorsement, she would have endorsed him.

I think the conversation in this thread has entirely missed the point. 

A celebrity endorsement isn't meant--or expected--to change anyone's mind. It's meant to raise awareness. It's meant to add energy and enthusiasm. It's meant to add a "cool factor" and social cachet to a candidate or cause. 

That's the entire point of the "influencer" industry. Influencers are powerful marketing tools, and Swift is among the most powerful influencers.

Swift is particularly valuable an endorsement because she has enormous reach with a voter demographic (young women)  that a) is not naturally politically active and b) predisposed to break heavily for Harris. She's activating inactive voters. And that's why this endorsement matters. 

More than 337,000 people visit Taylor Swift's link to register to vote

That's the number in one day. The concrete, trackable, attributable number, not even considering the untracked effects. 

That's why it matters.

Without Taylor swift, nobody would know the usa has a president.

This is the problem, if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is, you are too stupid to vote.

Who cares?

I would content a person reflexively voting for a party no matter who leads them is worse. That's more cultish than any Swiftie.

Agree.

I kind of feel that way with the US elections right now.  I have no horse in that race, but I think the Dems could have run a french fry as a candidate and they all would have jumped on board.

Voting based on policies is almost completely gone.
