Poll of the Day > Taylor Swift FINALLY reveals her POLITICS and Urges people to vote DEMOCRATS!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

28 y/o Superstar Taylor Swift has FINALLY taken a political stand after years of not voicing who she voted for and rumours of her being a TRUMP SUPPORTER from alt-right groups who used her pictures in various memes to support their causes...and now she's finally ready to speak out.

Talor took to isntagram and said she plans to vote in the midterms and it's for the DEMOCRATS!!

She wrote "In the past i've been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past 2 years, i feel very differently about that now. I cannot vote for someoen who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin colour, gender or who they love. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights i believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. i believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of colour is terrifying, sickening and prevalent"

The Pennsylvania native who has lived in Nashville, Tennessee said in her lengthy post BLASTING Marsha Blackburn, the Republican Congresswoman running against her democratic opponent.

She said Blackburn's voting record "appalls and terrifies" her and cites her as a member of a US House of Representative voting against equal pay for women and Reauthorization of Violence Against Women act and believes gay couples shouldn't have a right to marry.

She has endorsed Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives

She is now urging young people to vote and register in November and said "So many intelligent, thoughtful, self possessed people have turned 18 in the past 2 years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info, Happy Voting!"

She just wrapped up her North American leg of her Reputation Tour in TExas and set to open the American Music Awards in LA before going Down Under to Australia, New Zealand and Japan

Her endorsement has received lots of buzz with Bredeson thanking her and Actress and Activist Alyssa Milano writing "Taylor Swift Speaks Out AGainst Anti-Gay Senate Candiate - Thank you"

But Conservative Whacko, Charlie Kirk BLASTED her stating "You have absolutely no idea what you are talkinga bout. Your caraeer never recovered since Kanye ended it" as thousands of other conservatives are now REVOKING their Taylor Swift endorsements and say they will support "Kanye"

Kanye, who infamously went on stage to take the mic away from Taylor and said she DIDN'T deserve the best video award and should have went to Beyonce and at that time blasted Conservatives as well and became a hitting point for the right who lifted Taylor as a symbol for the "alt-right" despite never revealing her political affiliation...

Now in an ironic twist, Kanye is a darling to the right wing and Taylor will now be seen as a hero for the left 10 years later..

Do you respect Taylor Swift more now?

Regardless of their views, my opinion is that people of influence who aren't politicians should stay out of politics.

Nah. Let people vote however they want. If they want to follow their idols, all the more power to them. Telling people how they should and shouldnt act is not helpful for society as a whole, no matter how controversial their views are. Just let it go on as it will and let Darwin do his thing.

Finally, I really wasn't sure how to vote until Taylor Swift said so.

People are free to state who they politically align with, I just feel it's irresponsible for people who know impressionable people follow them to make a big deal out of their views.

But I personally believe that even my logic has double standards, since no one (or at least I don't) usually bats an eye if someone famous talks about anti-bullying, anti-littering, etc. even though it's the same logic as someone stating something political.

Is that how you felt when Donald Trump was pushing the birther bs several years ago, before running for president when he was still just a celebrity famous for being a rich asshole?

Even so, if some people cant think for themselves when theyre younger, whose to say they wont be able to think for themselves later? People change. Society wont if people wont let it.

I agree, we elect people to argue about politics for us, that is their job. The more society spews their political opinions for everyone to hear, the more divisive a society they become. People should be judged on their character, not who they vote for.

Then, to what extent do we draw the line? Political preferences? Views on controversial issues like abortion, healthcare reform, gun control, environmental advocacy, welfare, etc? Gender and sexual preferences?

I completely agree, it creates a sort of 'where is it appropriate and where isn't it, and why are certain things allowed but not others'.
So yeah, whilst I still personally think people shouldn't, I'm not promoting the idea they should somehow be prevented from it.

It's just another thing that could influence people. People will do whatever they want to do, including follow in the footsteps of their idols. If we infringe on this right, we're no better than those who infringe on people who never had any right to begin with.

She's just mad that Kanye is a Trump supporter.

You seem to use a lot of memes and gifs to convey your thoughts. Guess you just don't have any original thoughts, then.

If that's an example of one of your original thoughts, you're better just letting your celebrities do your thinking for you. As for memes, they're the only appropriate response for any number of ridiculous opinions.

And, in general, when it comes to posting "lol" vs a meme of somebody laughing, I ask you:

Oh for fucks sake Zeus. I meant "all the more power to them" in regards to the people making their own decisions. If they want to be like their favorite idol, who are you to say no? You, after all, created your account in the likeness of Zeus. So who's following who?

The "system" isn't broken. It's just different. For the first time in a long time, people are voicing their opinions and beliefs instead of keeping it to themselves like it's something to be ashamed of.

Fuck off Zeus. I don't follow any celebrities. I may follow them on Twitter, but I certainly don't let them do their thinking for me. You're just butthurt that I called you out on something. Your ass isn't worth kissing.

Inb4 Zeus' wall of text on how I'm wrong and he's right, as if his opinions are the only way to do things.

hey tc she didn't urge people to vote democrat she just asked them not to vote for this one republican

No, it's definitely breaking. Low-information voting is ever on the rise and the lines between celebrity and politician are becoming increasingly blurred (to the point where a Kanye presidence doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility). Democracy only truly works with an informed, responsible populace and that's been slipping away for a long time now.

It's simpler than that, you just need a populace not vulnerable to believing lies at face value. Democracy works as long as terrible people can't secure a position reliably, democracy is only functional as a corruption interceptor, it's terrible as an actual system for getting things done.

Anybody who votes just because a celebrity says so is a fucking moron and shouldn't be anywhere close to a ballot box.

It seems like Taylor Swift is willing to pay more taxes just so that politicians pay more lip service to social issues. The Trump tax cuts likely benefited her a lot given that she is at the highest tax brackets.

All of the above? I mean if it is an issue that you know heavily divides people then why take a stand on it? You are not changing the opinions of people who believe otherwise, and anybody who would follow you is easily manipulated. Do you really want to lead the Hitler youth even if you believe you are right?

Plus I am not saying their should be some law against it, just that all you are doing is creating a divide. The only way you are going to change people's opinions is to change their perceptions, not scream an opposing opinion in their face. That only justifies their beliefs.

Shut up and go sing about a guy you wanna dump again, Tayor Swift...

Of course, this is a good thing. Taylor Swift and people like her are leaders in our society since all eyes are on them, so we should encourage people to listen to what they say. Unless they disagree with me politically obviously because then they're wrong.

The decisions are only stupid because you deem them so. I highly doubt the person expressing their views see their own views as stupid. Your rebuttal is simply stop liking what I dont like!.

Unless you have pictures of your house on Mount Olympus and have a video of you throwing lightning bolts at titans, youre not Zeus. Youre just an imposter - a phony.

I dont need to see your ass to know that its not worth kissing. Its old. I pass on old folks thanks.

Not a contradiction. Like Ive said again and again, people should be allowed to vote however they want. If they want to follow their idols and vote as they do, go for it. Thats their decision.
