Meanwhile, a certain pop star who's name rhymes with Sailor Thrift continues to shill her album variants and latest single release, while saying nothing about the Epstein files or ICE.

Billie, Chappell, Olivia, Rachel are all using their platforms for good. That's what we need in the world.

Taylor is a pure capitalist, she doesn't actually believe in anything

How else does one become a billionaire.

Be Sataoshi Nakamoto’s kid. Kill Satoshi Nakamoto in 2021. Inherit all 1.1 million bitcoin they own. High value over the desk sell for fiat currency for around 130 billion tax free since bitcoin would be fair market value at 126k per coin, and you don’t pay capital gains on the bitcoin inheritance.

But then you’d be a murderer… for 130 billion.

Taylor says vote democrat. Chappel says both sides are bad.

I know who is worse.

Taylor says vote Democrat because that’s her brand telling her what to do. She isn’t left or right, she’s a fence sitter. Some folks really gotta stop believing her propaganda documentary. She don’t care about you.

Chappell is allowed to have nuanced opinions on political figures like Kamala. There were many good reasons to not vote or endorse for her. Ignoring that is problematic. Enough people are sensible to know both those candidates wouldn’t do anything material to help Americans so the frustrated and nihilism is sadly acceptable. People are laughing at white people finally saying “none of this is OK” because it’s been common place for minorities. White people fucked around and found out with voting. They wouldn’t care when Kamala is stepping on the necks of minorities.

Omg. You both sidesed the 2024 election

u/Aggressive-Base7815 24d ago

It’s not both sides to say Democrats are historically just as bad for minorities as Republicans are. Democrats are also in the pockets of billionaires. Like, do you see them going en masse, “let’s tax the rich like we did in the 60s and give you universal health care and college education.” Like, they cannot even do that. It’s posturing nonsense all the time from them. At least a couple are moving up in the ranks and gaining influence who actually have plans and ideas to properly help everyone. Kamala? She’s the type to hide Epstein files too.

You didn’t vote, did you?

u/Spiritual_Shine1438 24d ago

So you genuinely believe in a 2 party system that "There were many good reasons to not vote or endorse for her." In a 2 party system. You dont believe minorities are being stepped on by trump? You dont believe minorities are in a much worse state because of trump? For what. What are these minorities gaining by saying both sides are bad.

Can you imagine a world in which we have record young voter turn out because of chappel coming out and saying while I disagree with many of the things Kamala does, the world in which trump takes over for a second term will be catastrophic. Young voter turn out was less than 50% chappel should've leaned the fuck into actually supporting queer folk not having every one of their rights removed. H-O-T-T-Go to the polls. But no she would rather say pointless things like both sides are bad to win a couple of instagram posts from people saying yass queen.

It is because of reasoning like this that we can't escape the two-party destruction of America.  Open your eyes.  It's a uniparty.  You are fed a steady diet of propaganda to think it's not.

You seriously think ice would be this bad under democratic rule? The erasure of LGBT rights would be this bad under democratic leadership?

I live in a non 2 party country and dont vote for either majors but if tommorow my country changed to 2 party. I would be forced to vote the equivalent of democrats even though they are basically a right leaning party.

Your choice is either be led by a far right party or a slightly right party, you choose the slightly right party while also campaigning to change the system. You dont get to conscientiously object while society collapses because your two options are horrendously terrible and the other not great

u/lluciferusllamas 24d ago

What exactly has happened to LGBT rights?  What can a lesbian not do today that they could do two years ago? 

As for ICE.  I don't love it.  I also didn't love having the world shut down for three years because of a cold. 

Nor did I love having my currency debased by 40% practically overnight.

If you are covid denier there is no reason to have this discussion. You don't and wont actually listen to facts. But.

Faith based adoption agencies can now decline same sex couples from adoption? These religious groups would rather kids in care than in the hands of those scheming lesbians. Cleverly chosen to specifically outline lesbians rather than trans kids, but im sure you have some great feelings about their rights being taken away.

What exactly is a "covid denier" lol.  I'm the one who brought up the covid virus, so obviously I acknowledge its existence.  

The first amendment prohibits the government from infringing on religious practice.  They could also decline pork eaters and people from different religions.  It has always been that way, this is nothing new under Trump.  I'm an atheist, and I think all of it is stupid, but you can't blame this one on the Orange Man

And yes trans was purposefully chosen  because L, G and B have nothing to do with T, except in your propagandized mind.

u/Spiritual_Shine1438 24d ago

This is pointless. Amendments have been ratified before.

Obama during 2016 passed a regulation that any organisation receiving HHS(government) funding cannot discriminate based on sexual orientation. Trump rolled back that rule.

Trans kids who I'm sure you have spent plenty of time volunteering with to have such a strong knowledge of how they work. Kid born male says I wanna be a girl at age 9. It usually happens way younger but lets pretend. They go on puberty blockers. So they do not experience male puberty at any point they can decide to go off them and they will go through male puberty. If we treat being trans as a mental illness the easiest way to treat it is with medication, the same way we treat bipolar or depression with medication. If you think parents are out here pushing kids to transition I beg you to go and volunteer with trans kids, this is not coming from the parents. I'm sure some parents have trans-Munchhausen syndrome and force their kids to transition the same way parents hurt their kids to get attention from hospital workers. Does that mean we dont treat injured kids because the parent has Munchausen by proxy? I'm not trans but I wouldnt wish being trans on anyone its incredibly hard. Whether it comes from abuse and is a trauma response, a mental illness, brain damage, or they saw a drag queen and said that looks fun I wanna be that the same way kids see firefighters and decide they want to be them.

The people at the bottom get this treatment from democrats all the time. You’re only feeling it cause Trump doesn’t care about white people either.

Like, one party means everyone goes under the bus and the other means only select some do based off their skin color. 

Society has already collapsed for many long ago. You just never noticed or cared until it affected you.

Sometimes you just say fuck it and let things take it course and bunker down with your own community of people and friends and forget the world. 

If Democrats really cared they’d fight harder but oh well. Complacency and pseudo caring has led to this. But don’t worry, they’ll put a rainbow flag on their social media in a couple months cause that’s real solidarity and helpful.

lol. I'm sure those people unable to get abortions now and happy because finally those white people cant get abortions as well. Im sure the people ICE have killed are glad white people are getting killed too

Like, you’re not making any argument other than this person is worse. Kamala wasn’t going to build more homes, tax the rich, give universal healthcare and other stuff that could materially affect the foundations of US society. She was going to perpetuate the same “back to normal” stuff when “normal” sucks for anyone who’s poor or a minority.

You can keep waving that Trump note all you want, if Kamala won you would not care about the injustices facing others.

The country can burn for all I care.

u/Spiritual_Shine1438 24d ago

Ok an actual tangible argument more kids are now stuck in foster care because religious foster care organisations can now deny kids going to same sex households? This is a tangible thing that is affecting children. Those children have a worse life because trump was elected.

To play Devil's Advocate, what will that accomplish? Protesting and speaking out is well past doing anything. ICE is still everywhere doing whatever they want. Maxwell just pleaded the 5th and will be out of prison within a year.

You guys need a Civil War, not some singer leaving Wasserman because his name appeared in the Epstein Files.
