celeb news Cardi B says she's not voting in the next election: "I don't f— with both of y'all"

Quote

 

A political junkie with an encyclopedic recollection of American presidents, she became a sought-after pundit, endorsing and interviewing Bernie Sanders and then Joe Biden as they pursued the presidency. 

 

Then, last November, she declared she'd never do it again — for any president or hopeful. By March, she had told L.A. radio host Big Boy she wouldn't even vote in the upcoming presidential election. She tells me she means it. "I don't **** with both of y'all niggas," she says of Biden and Trump. Before, she had seen Trump as a dire threat, but under Biden, she's felt "layers and layers of disappointment" from what she sees as domestic and foreign mismanagement. The cost of living is too high, wages are too low, and too little is being done about it, she says. "I feel like people got betrayed."

 

"It's just like, damn, y'all not caring about nobody," she says. "Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there's a solution because you're spending billions of dollars on any ******* thing."

 

After President Biden insisted the U.S. could fund both Israel and Ukraine in their respective wars against Gaza and Russia in October, Cardi spoke out against it. She echoes the sentiment with me, but is concerned artists of color can get "blackballed" for talking about the war in Gaza. "[America] don't pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through **** for a very long time," she says. "There's countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [U.S.] won't benefit from that country, they won't help. I don't like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience."

 

As we talk politics, Cardi is mindful of her words. With her life under a microscope, she's struggled lately with how much to open up — on anything. The impulses that have made her both a public darling and tabloid target are similar: She's had an uncanny willingness to be staunchly opinionated and bewilderingly honest, to be imperfect on camera, to divulge the typically embarrassing. Now, even on her album, she's been hedging. "I really want to talk about the life changes that I've been dealing with the past six, seven years," she says of her new music. "But then it's just like, I feel like people don't deserve to know because people use my pain against me."

Imagine voting for Genocide Joe 

[Mr.X]

Good for her, I would do the same if I were a voter in the USA.

 

**** them both, they are as bad as each other

[Mornings]

Big Brains Cardi making some sense and backing it up!

[KatyPrismSpirit]

shes correct here

[Raver]

The few Biden supporters madT 

[i spit on haters]

She may get dragged via twitter for this (by liberals/neoliberals) but she isn't in the minority with this sentiment. Millions are going to sit this election out.

 

Biden is also losing key swing states to Trump in the polls. Biden is too concerned with a fascist, foreign country and trying to appeal to Nicki Haley voters than to his own voting blocks. MOST AMERIICANS SUPPORT A PERMENANT CEASE FIRE. This isn't a ~radical left~ talking point. Even people who are apolitical believes Israel war on Gaza is beyond the pale. Take that stance and compound it with all of Biden's broken campaign promises, his age and how ineffective his presidency has been. And this is the outcome with voters.

I voted last year but why should I vote in this upcoming election when nothing is resonating with me.

[Dialamba]

She's right but if you say both suck joe Stans will start fuming 

[ImpressMeMuch]

not voting, not releasing an album... what is she doing? 

 

(she's right here) 

[Reginald]

One thing I'll give the GOP is that their lack of morals and ethics allows them to silence any dissidence in their party; I'm sure the MAGAs won't be sitting this one out

This. If Trump wins, I fully expect Thomas and Alito to retire from the supreme court and be replaced with younger religious hard-right judges who will make sure the rest of our lifetimes are as miserable as possible. People on here are talking about sitting out an election like it's not going to have repercussions that last the rest of our lives

Oh no, two religious alt right nut jobs being replaced by two religious alt right nut jobs.  
 

At least conservatives know that they should retire.

[GhostBox]

then she obviously doesn't care about any of the issues. But she's a rich celebrity so she will be fine either way. 

[Rainbow]

She's right. This country is run by puppets and is in shambles from greedy and bought out politicians

The DNC has been calling millions of people that make up their base antisemitic for requesting a ceasefire, and blue cities are still sending in dozens of cops to come in and break up peaceful protests. Hillary just called college students uneducated as well. So no, it's actually the DNC who is silencing dissent in their party.
