Billie Eilish is the latest high-profile entertainer to back Vice President Harris’s White House bid, urging her fans to “vote like your life depends on it.”
“We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy,” Eilish said in a video posted on social media on Tuesday.
“We can’t let extremists control our lives, our freedoms and our future,” Eilish’s brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas O’Connell, said in the message shared with the “Lunch” singer’s more than 7 million followers on X.
I expect at least half the reason she publicly endorsed Harris was to seriously piss Trump and his followers off. That seems like something she'd really enjoy.
I can't remember a time before the Republicunts started obsessing over him that anyone on the planet didn't hate him. It's insane seeing one of the most infamous people alive get so many dick riders.
Then Boss Ross and Fred Rogers rise from the grave briefly just to say that they both think Harris and Walz are really nice people and would do a good job.
These endorsements are important not necessarily because of who is doing them, but for the constant wave of reminders that are more high profile than usual political messages. I think the biggest fight is against complacency as we start seeing the "sweeping poll numbers" from the media near the end. Vote regardless of who you're told is winning, it won't matter until the votes are counted.
I'm not holding my breath but hopefully it increases youth turnout of women. Which is a group that is much more progressive than young men, but both have poor turnout compared to older people.
Taylor's post, while i feel was well crafted, didn't say that anyone else should vote for Harris explicitly, but rather encouraging them to research their options and vote. That's different than "vote for Harris like your life depends on it".
Wasn't saying that at all. I'm not playing favorites, and as a Sad Dad of The National, I actually listen to more Swift. I think Swift's post about voting for Harris was well presented, but my point was it wasn't an endorsement.
Noone looked at my comment history I guess. Lol. That's fine. I've been commenting on how Swift didn't really endorse Harris, and just stated how she was voting and that people should research and vote. I am not even down on Swift. I think her post-debate message was well done. Just making a comment of the contrast and what a real endorsement is.
