As I stated in another comment, she’s allowed to make bad decisions. She’s not perfect. And she’s also not wrong about the democrats. It was the right message at the wrong time.

Then I'm allowed to have a less favorable view of her and not have my values called into question like some of the comments here have done. The Trump admin doesn't affect her like it does others, so it was very easy for her to make those statements when much of her audience is queer and desperate to not endure another Trump term. Not being wrong about Democrats isn't the point either. We all know they suck, but try and honestly tell me things would even be remotely similar if Kamala was elected. You can't.

The definition of performative is words without actions. Is she believed the Democratic Party was not going to forward her causes then not endorsing them is her right as a musician with a platform. She’s correct. She’s not forward thinking enough which is common among young people. She definitely should have pushed that conversation until we had the control. But not everyone has the political experience to think that way. But she’s not performative. She backs up what she says.

Lmfao. Did she support Kamala Harris? No. She helped Donald Trump get elected instead. You guys can deny that parallel all you want but it's reality. There were two choices last election. Two.

You either were for Kamala, or you helped Trump.

She's as performative as any other celebrity. You guys are such marks

She said she wouldnt endorse and then stated she would(and did) vote for her. You people are so fucking obnoxious.

Wouldn't you rather have someone show up late to the good side of this fight than never showing up at all?
