I admire Swift (and Clark) saying basically “don’t do it because I did it, EDUCATE YOURSELF and make your own decision”.
It’s classy. It’s proper. And maybe it gets some young people thinking for the first time about how politics affects their lives.

>“So, I think the biggest thing would be just encourage people to register to vote. I think for myself, the second time I can vote in an election at age 22, I could vote when I was 18,” she said. “So, I think, do that. That’s the biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have, and that’s the same thing Taylor did.”
>In a message to her more than 280 million Instagram followers, Swift encouraged her followers to do their “research” and reminded them to register to vote ahead of the November election.
>Clark shared a similar message, urging voters to “educate” themselves on this year’s nominees.
>“Continue to educate yourself on the candidates that we have, the policies that they’re supporting — I think that’s the biggest thing you can do,” she said. “And that’s what I would recommend to every single person that has the opportunity in our country.”
I’m so tired of people acting like one of the candidates isn’t an openly anti-American sex criminal with dementia.
Like sure, any other time, educate yourself. This election is only about “do you want to keep basic American freedom, yes or no?”

Only problem is some people think educating themselves means listen to whatever they already want to hear and do some research on tik tok or instagram though. Then there’s some who think they’ve already educated themselves from said tik toks

Ah i see the “freedom of speech is essential” crowd have gotten mad at someone for using their free speech. What a surprise. Good on clark for standing on her values and not backing down

And a lot of conservative RW’ers heads explode in the Midwest since a lot of them stereotyped her into being conservative. Glad Caitlin set them straight

MAGA heads exploding because many of them have been holding out Caitlin Clark as a victim of so-called “reverse discrimination” and here she is being all liberal and not one of them.

Oh no, my conservative step dad that watches her WNBA games in his underwear will be devastated.

Can sexist Republicans boycott something they never watched?

And don’t let them gaslight you with the “stick to sports” bullshit.
Donald Trump was a tabloid celebrity and game show host and they handed their entire political party and ideology over to him to use as his personal plaything.

Clark didn’t endorse Kamala. Didn’t come out in support of Swift. Just liked a picture on Instagram. These chuds are some real snowflakes lol.

MAGAs hate the message of ‘educate yourself’ even more than an outright endorsement of Kamala Harris. If they educate themselves there’s no chance they’re voting for Trump.
linuxphoney on
Wait. Is this the Harris endorsement? The conservatives are so angry about?
She didn’t even do it. She just told people to vote. Holy shit.

Conservatives 100% probably think she’s transgender
I love me some Caitlin Clark, on and off court.
I’m not sure how well that will play out in Indiana. But what do I know
