It’s good that she’s announced that she’s voting for Kamala. I imagine, even without an explicit endorsement, fans who are otherwise undecided - or perhaps not planning to vote - might go out and vote like their idol.

Meanwhile, somewhat cynically, she has a better chance of retaining fans who happen to vote the other way.

While it’s great to vote and encourage voting, demanding every 20 something popstar divulge who they’re voting for so you can decide whether or not you support them anymore is one step closer to Idiocracy territory.

On the other hand, I very much appreciate knowing which celebrities support an administration that poses a threat to my family. I will not vote for someone based on a celebrity endorsement, but the celebrity may gain or lose my business over it.

I really liked Kid Rock in his early days. The music was catchy, and it had the right mix of redneck, rock, and rap to make this country boy happy. Now I won’t listen to him because he chose to openly throw in with politicians who do not care if their policies and rhetoric kill my friends or kids.

You may not be interested in what any “celebrity” chooses politically, but there are huge groups of (stupid) people who let the people they like/follow dictate their choices.

As much as the Idiocracy of this is apparent, I don’t mind because it may get more people actually involved.

Politics is now team sports. They just want you on “their team”.

Politics is a combination of indoctrination and team sport. If not for indoctrination, the conservative team would have very few players.

She needs to get off the internet. She has more dumbasses and trolls now than she had total fans 2 years ago and she doesn’t know how to handle it.

This was my take on it. She is a big Star, I figured she would have learned to just ignore the fanatics by now. She just comes off so frustrated in the video. We didn’t see Taylor Swift writing up a response every time fans demand it.

Tay sway has been media trained since she was a child. She’s a product and she knows it. Roan was playing on a keyboard in the park not that long ago and she hasn’t figured out that she will go crazy trying to manage her fame like she is.

Coolz, coolz. Didn’t know who this was before last week, super looking forward to this being the last bit of information I ever learn about them. Way too much look at me im relevant to actually be relevant. Should anyone care what any celebrity endorses?

It’s bizarre that libs got mad at her either now or in the first place. I’ve heard this bizarre take of “Voting is not an endorsement!” plenty of times on here, and it just means that the person believes in unconditionally supporting the Dems while assuaging their conscience by sending thoughts and prayers to alter reality. Publically saying that you’ll vote for someone is an endorsement. It doesn’t matter what thoughts you hold on your head unless those thoughts actually impact material reality in some way.
