Yes, America can’t wait to have celebrities once again tell them what to believe and who to vote for. Honestly, I think those types of events are a negative.


Guess JD Vance should have restrained himself from saying childless women don’t have a stake in our democracy…

They might not be the same people. Overall the young people want a younger candidate, just like the rest of us.


Or it’s a bunch of astroturf. Nobody likes Kamala. She is a well-recognized moron.

Almost a million individual small dollar donations is the opposite of astroturf, dear.


The MAGA bots are desperate LOL

Taylor swift is not as liked at you think she is. Also, 13 years old can’t vote.

My friend (I swear it’s not me, I’m not 50 yet and I don’t like her) is in a Swifties Over Fifty FB group with 20,000 members.


Sureeeee it’s not you

But I mean, I kind of like her too

A week ago, I was feeling hopeless, almost resigned to another Trump presidency. I found the debate so embarrassing.
Today is the first day that I feel, "Wow, we can do this!"

I am beginning to admire Harris' patience and calm demeanor throughout the storm of the last several weeks.

For the first time in my 35 years, I am going to volunteer as a poll worker. My older daughter might join me.

I can't wait to vote for our first Madam President!

Other side does it too, their “celebrities” are just super lame.

With a significant amount of first time donors. For all the people just assuming it’s internet bots, the hype is monetarily backed and very clear: people may not love Kamala, but they sure as hell want her over Biden

Or actually, I bet it’s Beyoncé given her letting Harris use her song

+1 I think Bey is already on board but they’re putting this out there to lure Tay.

Because young people were mad at Biden and didn’t feel seen or respected by the party. Biden steps aside following pressure from his constituents and they felt seen and heard. Now they’re willing to believe the party hears them. Let’s see if they deliver!!


I think you are right. There was also something so depressing about having two 80 year olds candidates out of 300+ million people. At least that was how I felt. I would still have gone out to vote for Biden but would have done nothing else.


Seeing Biden mess up the debate so badly just made me want to hide under the covers and not come out. Harris has brought hope back.

I think you massively overestimate the impact of celebrity endorsements.
