          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.

    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.

      Yeah they pretty much forced her to engage. All because this F… former president thought he could materialize an endorsement by posting a deepfaked image saying she endorsed him.

      “If you listen to her, you’re stupid and shouldn’t vote” is my favorite emotionally abusive narrative.

      Fuck these creeps. To anyone that felt inspired by Swift, you deserve to feel empowered.

    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.

    That’s significant.
    Trump lost in 2020 by 11,780 votes.
    That’s what he needed to take Georgia and their EC votes.
    Taylor just got 30x that number of people to register in a single day.

    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 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. Our 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.

      I’m the state of Illinois you can more or less do this. You just need proof of residency to register day of at the polls. It was very fascinating to see when my wife’s registration was removed.

    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
