They have woken the Swifties.
May god have mercy apon their ragged souls.
May god have mercy on their souls
I assume that’s a gif because I remember that line and it’s a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.
Gifs don’t seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?
It’s a jpeg
Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog!
it’s a weird bug I get on voyager where it converts gif to jpeg.
Now let’s recruit the K-Pop stans and only then will our victory be truly complete. We must unite these 2 forces for good.
It was only a matter of time until Donald incurred the wrath of TayTay
But but JD Vance said no one would be influenced by her!
Even more ironic, he said no one would be swayed by an out of touch billionaire that can’t identify with them…
Really? Holy crap. If course, Trump is NOT a billionaire. Pretty sure that’s why he has never released his tax returns. He embarrassed at how little money he has, compared to what he claims.
Technically he said a “billionaire celebrity,” so he might have been referring to his boss.
Taylor Swift Net worth: 1.3 billion USD
And hers isn’t made up based off of Russian money laundering.
A reminder that all Trump businesses have failed and he’s literally bankrupted a casino five separate times (and a hotel once). One of his spawn has also stated that the family has been “debanked” or fired as clients (due to financial, legal, regulatory, or reputational risk). Ironic that debanking usually comes under scrutiny for how it has disproportionately targeted Muslims and minorities.
Correct. We know that. It’s a dig on the hypocrisy of what Vance said. Vance said a celebrity billionaire wouldn’t have influence, and his running mate is exactly that.
Someone is going to get “Swift Voted”
That’s excellent. Thank you.
How many are from the esteemed nation of PAWANEVMIAZGANC?
I’d guess a few. Swift’s background in country means she’s got a big fanbase in GA and NC. Even bigger than the other states, I mean.
That’s an encouraging sign.
Even a 1% boost in turn out from young people could mean a lot in many races across the country, in swing state country I mentioned or not. Most people aren’t Swifties, but chances are young people would have at least a friend of a friend who is one who may motivate the people around them to get involved this election.
quite a swift response
Different kind of swiftboat in play this election.
I know there is work to be done every single day through the election. But just for this moment I’m going to just breathe it all in and enjoy. I think we all earned that.
I’m just impressed that this wasn’t clickbait and that they took the time to filter for her link only. No way to refute it.
Now, if they will actually go vote, is the key.
All I can say is: lololol
According to Taylor Swift’s post, Trump and his propagandists posting fake pictures of Swift implying she was endorsing him is one reason she went ahead and came out with this statement endorsing Harris now, to refute the fake stuff they are circulating. So their stupid plan massively backfired.
Maybe Swift would have come out to endorse Harris at some point anyway, but doing it now gives people more time to get registered before the deadline.
I’m sure their “concepts of a plan” had it really all thought out
It seems like a bad idea to track where traffic is coming from when a person is signing up to vote. We know the sort of opponent in this endeavor, why give them the ability to start determining who might have papers or information get accidentally lost in the application process?
Vote.gov is aware of the traffic. It redirects you to your state website to actually register. Those websites would only see traffic from vote.gov, not anything from a tracking URL.
Vote.gov uses custom links to see what is effective in getting people to register to vote so they can continue doing that, as that’s their mandate.
As a note, this is 10x as many people signing up same day then in 2022 when she directed people to vote.org
Yep, just now realizing my mistake. Thanks, I’ll edit!
The article itself says:
The same day Taylor Swift posted a message encouraging her followers to register to vote, over 35,000 people reportedly made a “Run (Taylor’s Version)” to do so on Vote.org
Edit: I had clicked the wrong link. OP’s headline is thankfully correct!
That was 2022, when she used the vote.org link, which is a charity that registers people to vote. Yesterday, she used vote.gov, which is a government service that redirects people to their local state registration services.
OPs headline is the same as the article from this year, and is accurate as it lists referrals, which is what vote.gov does.
Think that’s because this time it’s a “vote to defend me” kind of situation?
Nope. At no point did she ask her fans to “vote to defend me.”
She expressed her political opinions, and extolled them to express their own several times, then dropped a link about registering to vote.
She basically said “I believe this and will be voting for Harris. You should think about what you believe, and then vote for that. Here is how you register to vote.”
Pretty chill and reasonable, honestly.
Oh sorry I meant this:
I imagined your average Swiftie saying:
How dare he [and after that AI nude scandal too?!]. I’mma defend our girl.
She definitely didn’t ask anyone, but if your favorite person says someone wronged you and says what they’re going to do, that’s a very attractive bandwagon.
Her post was flawless.
I think her fans are probally not happy about that, but it was pretty small part of the overall post. I read that as more her responding to the misinformation about her than a direct “they wronged me, get them!” She certainly isn’t happy about AI fakes though, and not just from the Trump campaign. Musk also allowed Twitter to host a viral wave of fake porn of her a bit ago before it got a lot of outrage in the media, so this may also be a clap back about how irresponsible the GOP side of aisle is being with AI.
I’d expect her fans to have a stronger inclination to overall agree with supporting reproductive rights and the various other points she championed over a sense of retribution, but it may play a part.
The election is being run by non-fascists. If we want to keep it that way, we need to vote.
If they wanted to accidently lose registration they could just do it by party affiliation in key states
No need to do it by referring url
They will learn no lessons from this because they’re stuck in their weirdo right-wing media/online bubble. They’ll keep saying weird and disgusting things like Musk when he threatened to impregnate Taylor Swift, and it will be devastating for them
Why is there a referral link to vote.gov? And why do you guys need to register in order to vote? In EU you can just go to the voting ballot by being a citizen
In the US there is no “national ID” everything is linked to like other countries. We used to be strongly privacy minded as a country (weird I know). So that as left is some rather weird legacy problems. Hence having the register to vote.
Also we have a much different power dynamic between states and the federal government. Or states have a LOT more power than local/regional ones in most counties.
I’m reality, it’s mostly absolute chaos. People unwittingly break so many laws everytime they cross a state border. Between helmet laws, small motor, open container, vastly different fire arm regulations, differing vehicular restrictions, legality or illegality of common substances.
That’s not even to mention all the interstate stuff managed by the fed. Like traveling accross state lines with a pill organizer is illegal.
The way the electoral roll is managed varies from place to place.
Avoiding automatic voter registration tends to favour the more traditionally conservative demographic; it’s racist and classist, but the people who turn up to vote on local electoral issues are too, by and large. It requires engagement to change.
How do they know you are a citizen?
How do they know in what political division your vote should be counted?
For local referenda, how do they know what issues you are eligible to vote on?
Whatever means are in use to get you the right ballot is what you use for “registration”.
Tldr: at least half of the government doesn’t want you to be able to vote because they think you’ll vote for the other party. Welcome to America isn’t it great.
For germany:
How do they know you are a citizen?
Everybody has an identity card. And you will be sent an election letter which you then show there. It has your Voter-ID and district number on it.
How do they know in what political division your vote should be counted?
Well the voting happens inside the respective districts. Plus you have the number on your letter.
For local referenda, how do they know what issues you are eligible to vote on?
No such thing in germany.
In the US there is no “national ID” everything is linked to like other countries. We used to be strongly privacy minded as a country (weird I know). So that as left is some rather weird legacy problems. Hence having the register to vote.
Its kinda weird for germany too. After having a total surveillance state twice in our history you’d think we had something against it. And we are in general very privacy minded. But the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
