Imagine the impact she could have had if she had the balls to actually denounce genocide in Gaza. Art is supposed to shape society, not the other way around.

You seem to have upset lemmy’s pro-genocide contingent.

EDIT: As have I. They identify themselves below.

I technically am, but not against Palestinians. The Mormons and Seventh day Adventist are free game though.

If you are supporting someone committing genocide and it’s not your red line, you are supporting and condoning their actions.

More likely because it has nothing to do with the topic of discussion.

Unlike Taylor Swift’s jet, you don’t need to announce your departure

338k people suddenly registering in one day is news.

As a journalist, the logical question when writing that article would be “why did so many people register suddenly?” And so you write that part into the article/headline to add context for the reader who will probably have that same question.

Otherwise people say “what a shit article, why is this on the front page of Lemmy? I can look up that number for myself”

If I had to spend actual real world time with you, I would probably just knod and agree with your shit-takes like your gran does.

You seem to think you’re a warm soul who is inviting to discussion but in reality you’re just another sour cunt crying online for attention.

Should we be saying “drove” or “flew in on her private jet”?

It’s link based; vote.gov doesn’t actually register — they connect people with the correct state voter registration website.

But what exactly were all these people waiting for?.. Did they really need Taylor to tell them this? I mean the answer is obviously yes but why?

An incredible and depressing number of people in the world don’t know what to wear, eat, watch, where to go on holiday or who to vote for until a celebrity tells them to do it.

We live in a society that does everything in its power to prevent people from empowering ourselves. It’s hard to see outside that panopticon, I do not blame the people for their own disenfranchisement.

Young people who didn’t consider voting before probably.

A lot of people don’t pay attention to politics, and don’t realize things like the need to register to vote since their last move, since their name changed when they got married, etc. They just want to shake it out.

Especially from younger people, but not unheard of from older people, is a phrase similar to “I’m not really into politics”. People may not realize that they can ignore politics as much as they want, but politics will affect their lives through and through.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
