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.)
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.
For those of us who don’t celebrity worship, this isn’t news. Anyone paying attention knows she leans left. Why anyone cares what a billionaire has to say is beyond me; there’s no such thing as a moral billionaire. That said, if you care about democracy, vote.
Besides her being perhaps the most popular musician on the planet with a rabid fanbase that will do pretty much anything she tells them to, there’s also the fact that Trump tried to ride her coattails by posting an AI slop poster claiming she was endorsing him, basically forcing her hand here.
But make no mistake. Maybe this won’t affect you or me, but there are a lot of young women who are going to look at Harris much more fondly because she got Taylor’s endorsement.
how is this news?
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?
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
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 take it no one ever told you just how much of a dick you are.

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

it can motivate politically passive swifties

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.
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.
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…
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
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?
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
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.

Because it trigger a reply from an unconcerned person like you. It tells a lot.

She is practically royalty, so her endorsement matters. (To some people)
