I hate that this is what it takes to get some people to vote, but at least they're going to vote. Hopefully.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I honestly didn't understand the media timing. It seems like it would be more effective to wait until the bump from the debate was over, then do the swift bump to keep the beat

signed "Childless Cat Lady."

Now the MAGA people are mad that they can't use their AI pictures anymore and pretend they are real.

Sad MAGA face 😡

Why are right wing parties obsessed with AI posters? And like HORRIFICALLY BAD AI posters? They're creepy as hell. In my country too, it's just unsettling. I guess it's easier than a photoshoot and allows you to make any obscene shit you want... Or just straight up lie.

I think you already answered your own question there. GenAI makes it really easy to flood a platform with loads of bullshit, and as a consequence make any point seem (at least somewhat) believable

lmao at the haters in the comments pretending they don't know who she is

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 16 points 1 week ago

Especially after the GOP literally pulled her into the spotlight over the subject https://newrepublic.com/post/177990/fox-news-conspiracy-theory-taylor-swift-psyop

I would have lost that bet…

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 72 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

why, she endorsed biden in 2020.

[–] Blooper@lemmynsfw.com 33 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Yeah I actually thought she wouldn't ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact. Which - I would guess that it was. Not that it's a bad thing.

Anyway I didn't think she would because I'm certain she lost some fans tonight - deciding to step into this race in such a major way. And the cynic in me thought she was more interested in money and wouldn't risk her image. I'm glad I was wrong.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i mean she endorsed biden in 2020, why would kamala be so much different?

[–] Blooper@lemmynsfw.com 35 points 1 week ago

Wait she did? Wow I have a lot to learn about Taylor Swift. Okay I would have definitely deserved to lose that bet.

[–] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 28 points 1 week ago

I think she can afford to lose a few fans.

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago

She endorsed Biden in 2020. There are no fans that didn’t understand her political leanings.

Banking on the following comments from the right, which they use for every artist's endorsement:

They're a has been washed up. Who even is this person? Guess I can cross him/her off my list I don't even know who this person is, what does it matter? This won't move the needle at all They should keep their options out of politics When is the last time this person has been relevant? Of course they would, all actors/actresses/artists are blue

Spin the ol wheel and let's see what we land on.

Don't forget that old standard, "She should shut up and sing!"
