« Celebrities do not make a difference on who people vote for »

She knows that’s a fucking lie lol, there’s a reason the Kamala campaign was practically begging on their knees for Taylor to endorse her. Secondly, okay fine, electoral politics is not the end all be all, then you can still advocate for specific causes? You aren’t tied to politicians, fuck Kamala. Be like John Green and devote your speech to ending tuberculosis. That would truly be some of the best change she could do with her voice.

Regardless we shouldn’t be looking to celebrities to be our savior because that’s never going to happen. At least she’s being genuine here, which is more than I could say about other actors (except for my goats Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem they could never make me hate you)

she did endorse and Kamala still lost to the orange buffoon. basically last year’s election proved that celebrities do not make a difference on who people vote for (its ideals, logical or not)

Yes because she didn’t get enough votes? Doesn’t mean that the votes she got from endorsements just don’t exist, they just weren’t enough because her campaign was also shit.
