    Tangential point but I do wonder how much of an effect Taylor Swift will have on voter turnout this year.

      MAGA already tried to cancel her and failed when she encouraged people to vote. Imagine if she actually endorsed a candidate.

          You know what… Why not? It’s no worse than MAGAts voting for Trump because “all the current politicians are corrupt, so let’s vote for a non politician” and Taylor has an arguably better business acumen than Trump. As far as I know, she hasn’t bankrupted any of her own businesses nor has she defrauded a charity bearing her name.

          But I question her ability to make the difficult life or death decisions associated with the presidency. Armed conflict is a simple reality of the world today.

          So who would be her running mate?

        You don’t get famous by having opinions that matter unless you start with the money.
