yeah, the jet not being in active service isn't really a big deal because it's a symbolic act that is supposed to associate the us navy with the tender nurturing of ill people, which is lolworthy.

It's dumb to condemn a celebrity for not getting involved politically but man, I bet it would move the needle a non-negligible amount in some places if TSwift was like "Trump is no good, folks."

Where is a place where Tswift would budge a single vote? Her fan base is one of the most pro-Hillary demographics there is. Certainly the most pro-Hillary white demographic.

She got her start in Nashville and still has the ear of plenty of pop-country folks, many of them not having the most progressive values!

She's also pretty popular with young people, who are not known for showing up to the booth in high numbers. Which is why they are having GOTV concerts with Katy Perry and Jay-Z, though neither of them has the ear of the youth like TSwifty does.

Actually, you will find that Taylor Swift is p cool. 1989 is a really good album for instance.

i don't know why we're parsing out TSwift's demographics this much but I'm totally into it. TSwift is like the best selling musician second only to Beyonce right now so I don't think you can just point to one demographic and say "That's her demographic. That's the one!" Young women, not young women, older women, gay men, straight men who aren't stuck up their own rear end, women in cities, women in the country. some of those demos don't vote in high numbers or are not exactly liberals so tswift could in fact have some influence that might not be easy to completely and totally dismiss were she to take a public position on the election but it's totally her prerogative to do that or not. as long as she keeps working with joseph kahn for her music videos, me and tswifty are cool

get that OUT of my face posted:

people follow celebrities and their lives so that they can escape from the problems of society and their own lives. a great many americans don't give a poo poo about whether their favorite celebrity is on their side on a given political issue, so taylor swift actually has a lot to lose by doing this

thinkpiece media takes karl rove's strategy of making everything political and runs with it farther than he ever did. that's why you can't have news about celebrities, sports, and tv shows (three things people use as escapism) anymore without some self-important prick shoehorning social issues into it. most people don't give a gently caress that aroldis chapman is in the world series a year after shooting around his wife- indeed, they're watching it to forget about that sort of poo poo. but you'll never hear the end of it from sites like deadspin

Um, everything is political lol. Yeah, it's so weird to make political commentary on sports when the most visible BLM supporter is a loving NFL quarterback and the guy who led the Cavs to the championship shows up to games with an "I Can't Breathe" shirt on.

Just lol at all of this.

"It is so obnoxious when people try to make this thing political where black people raised in poverty have their labor exploited by rich white people who try to cover up brain injuries because they need their negroes to keep working for them and making them more money . Ugh."

You must be a hit at parties.

Everything being political doesn't mean that you go to a wedding and stand up and tell everyone that it's heteronormative garbage but lol at the idea that somebody itt gets annoyed because people discussing racism and sports ruins his day.
