    I’m so sick of seeing her name. I don’t care what celebrities think about politics, they’re either part of the ruling class or are a willing servant.

    Swift puts out more carbon than hundreds, maybe even thousands of other people. I couldn’t care less what she thinks about trump. Yes he’s an asshole that I want breaking rocks in prison, but you really don’t deserve input.

      I disagree. She’s got a platform that reaches people. If this is the thing that pushes younger people to get out and vote against Trump, then I’m all for it.

      Do I think it’s short-sighted to vote on what a celebrity says? Sure, and I wouldn’t do it. But I’m also interested in US politics, and a lot of people aren’t/tune it out. I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth if this is where people find their motivation.
