So I’m going to try and bridge the gap here since this is a weirdly toxic thread and I hope just by old (? Fuck I hope I’m not old) people. I’m a millennial, so here we go.
Chappell Roan is a Gen Z musician. I legitimately couldn’t name a single one of her songs. I’ve been told “here, listen to this” more than a dozen times. I still have no idea.
As she mentions in this video this is her third presidential election. She has never voted in an election where Donald Trump wasn’t the Republican nominee.
Think about that for a minute. Seriously. Imagine only viewing Republicans as the party of Trump. How fucked up is that? Hillary v Trump. Biden v Trump. Harris v Trump.
Remember voting for Hope in '08? I don’t care what you think about Obama now. Remember '08 Obama? You voted against McCain. Do you know how much I wish I could vote FOR McCain now? How much I wish I could vote FOR Romney now? We live in a fucking twilight zone now. I’m thrilled to vote for Harris and Biden before her. Biden for the last four years has been fucking bliss. Harris for the next four years is a god send.
But Biden isn’t above criticism. Harris isn’t above criticism. They are when compared to the orange blob but you can’t live in that fucking world.
It’s fucked up when you look at the world we’re in now. Some random gen z musician says I can’t endorse Harris? I get it. I’ve been there. She sure as shit isn’t endorsing Trump but to look at Harris and go “Fuck Yeah!”… that just isn’t happening.
Trump had pulled us SOOOOOO FARRRR off course. He’s ruined an entire generation. An entire generation, gone, wasted to Trump. It’s fucking horrible.
Gen Z, bless their hearts, didn’t go through what we went through. Luckily we’re homies with Gen Z. I’m not sure we fully understand each other but at the end of the day we agree with each other.
I don’t want to leave them out but Gen X stared this fight. Us Millennials kept it going. And finally we have the numbers with Gen Z. We’re going to move forward. We’re going to move past Trump. (If you can fucking vote this round GET OFF YOUR FUCKING ASS.)
Chappell Roan is your little sister. I don’t care that you don’t know who she is. She’s on our side. She’s speaking honestly. She isn’t quite as jaded as you are. She’s got a following. I don’t care what Taylor Swift said either, but she’s right. She agrees. We need to move forward.
I get it. She didn’t endorse Kamala. Whatever. She ultimately agrees with her. Not on everything. We still got work to do. We know Kamala is the next step. We understand this takes multiple steps. Voting for multiple steps isn’t sexy. “What do we want” “Change” “When do we want it” “Slowly over the next several years” That isn’t sexy. But bus stops aren’t sexy.
We’re taking a bus. You’re there. A weird dude is there wearing a cape. A weird lady is there petting a Beanie Baby. I don’t want to get on the bus either, but it’s going the way I want to go, so I’m getting on.
Join us.
Who?
Sorry new phone, who’s this?
I mean, didn’t she literally say yesterday “both parties same!”? Seemed clear that she wasn’t voting
Im not ever clicking a tiktok link and tbh idk who that even is so this post means fuck all to me.
Thank you for letting us all know, it was a comment well worth your time to type out. I will make sure to pass this information along to my descendants!
Grandpa! It’s me, I’m your grandson from the future! I had to use the time machine and see for myself that you really did witness this momentous moment in human history!
I’ll try to be more elaborate with my constructive criticisms.
Can you please tell me:
-
Who that is / why people might care
-
What their message is
1 person is famous
2 they don’t idolize either political party and don’t want to feel pressured into picking a party since neither is without flaws, later clariified that not wanting to feel pressured doesn’t mean they will be voting for Trump
It really is as simple as the headline and the post text.
