But, always bears repeating that the aforementioned wave is not external to us, it is us and if we don’t show up, neither does it. I am growing increasingly hopeful, but that cannot slip into complacency. As I said elsewhere, joy, yes, but a joyous bloodthirsty rage.

How much of it translates to blue votes in the fall, though, is anyone’s guess.
A lot of her fans are young, a lot of them are women. That doesn’t bode well for the adjudicated rapist and his Commander of Gilead running mate, or for their party of rich old white men.

That should be good news.
Rock the vote, as they used to say.

“Swift boating” was a political smear tactic that contributed to John Kerry’s loss in the 2004 Presidential election.
Here’s hoping “Swift voting” (a much cleaner tactic) will help sink Trump and Vance in the 2024 Presidential election!

Behold the power of white women. May he-who-should-not-be-named be ground into orange paste by them in November.

JD Vance talking about Taylor Swift: “I don’t think many people are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.”
I just don’t understand this. How can Vance talk about “disconnected” and not even see the glaring mistakes in his own post?

Considering especially that his political benefactors have been out of touch billionaires who try to avoid the spotlight and a millionaire who desperately cosplays as a billionaire to achieve celebrity status.

And the parallel effect of Black women voters who basically single-handedly flipped Georgia last cycle. Very, very excited for this election.
Also; I am happy for this endorsement if nothing else than for the fact that all the groypers will STFU and drop the whole Taylor/Britney Mahomes bullshit. I don’t know what Britney’s political alignment is and IDGAF, honestly. I don’t exactly alter my alignment based on sports stars’ wives opinions and doubt many people actually do, either. But the whole thing was just such a gross, misogynistic takedown with absolutely insane shit being spouted, with absolutely zero evidence, feeding the internet outrage machine at the expense of two public women. And because it was a broad-spectrum venn diagram of the obsessively online it was absolutely everywhere last week. Grow TF up and get your own damn life, people.

The only thing that would have been better than her endorsement is if Tay Tay sang and played this song at the Dem convention with the video playing on the big screen:

In 8th grade (~40 years ago) our history teacher had us memorize the Preamble. I got thru a few words and realized, “hey, I know this…” More than a few other kids thought the same thing. & as an extra bonus that rather irascible teacher had to endure us singing this in class.
(Similarly, with “Adjectives” back in 4th grade)

He… he does know whose running mate he is, right?
