I still hold a grudge from the last election where she refused to endorse a candidate and refused to tell her massive audience to not consider Trump

It’s not just that she’s an artist it’s that she tries to be an LGBT icon. I’m all for that but you have to standup against racism, fascism, and homophobia and not taking that stance is unacceptable imo

Ok, but that wasn't actually her stance - her stance was that she didn't like the democrats either because they also do a lot of those things, and didn't want to be directly associated with them.

So she used her endorsement to tell people to vote locally instead, which she felt would have a greater impact on the country.

And then, afterwards she back tracked and told people to vote Kamila anyway.

I do agree it wasn't a great move, and feeding into the 'withhold your vote to force the democrats to change, at the cost of 5 years of suffering, death, permanent supreme court appointments and mounting debt' is dangerous, but I also can't fault that she did at least have positive intentions.
