    So, the same people who religiously listen to Ted Nugent are amazed that a different singer could influence people?

      They’re mad because Swift has amazing reach with young people and can actually single handedly make a difference, while Nugent is a has been who only a small subset of Boomers even care about. It’s just not fair!

        Most played artist on Spotify and Time’s person of the year 2023 vs… who? Someone whose name I recognise in the context of being a right-wing nut. Whether they’re a politician, musician, actor, podcast host,… I wouldn’t be able to say.

      This. I ask people to vote all the time because is very important in shaping our democracy. And I am sure singers and artist are actual people who may think the way I do about voting.

      The only people inside or outside the government who don’t want people to vote is Republicans. That is because Republicans rely on young people’s “laziness” and apathetic attitude on voting to win elections. They don’t want the masses educated and voting because what the Republicans legislate into law doesn’t help average people. It helps the rich.
