oh honey i definitely know what it means. You folks just keep circle jerking but everyone on ATRL knows yall are just a bunch of extremist clowns 

you thinking "liberals" and "extremists" is kind of a good acknowledgment that you don't know what liberal means. good job.

 

it's also interesting to notice the racist users who think financing a genocide IS NOT extreme but refusing to endorse a candidate doing that is.

Nothing but praise for Chappell on my corner of Twitter thankfully:

Small potato considering the responsibility of the party you're voting to in enabling a MOTHERFUCKING GENOCIDE, which you all treat like a small inconvenience.

 

The bad person here definitely isn't Chappell for not ignoring a second holocaust like y'all do.

Show me where in the article Chappell says the principal condition of how she would be voting was the candidate's position on the genocide. You can't. Because I've read it & she didn't. Y'all just made that up because it makes 1000x more sense than the dumbass nonsense she actually did say. In her defence, I think it's outrageous that she's always being asked about politics solely on the basis that she's queer. Beyond her orientation, it's plain to see she's inarticulate & uneducated. She's not a bad person. But why tf should any of us care what she thinks?

She has literally stated she refused to perform at the White House due to the ongoing genocide.

"I had picked out some poems from Palestinian women. I was trying to do it as tastefully as I could because all I wanted to do was yell," she said. "I had to find something that's tasteful and to the point and meaningful, and not make it about me and how I feel. I don't know if I'll ever get that close in direct sight of the president ever in my life. This is my shot." While Roan said that her publicist ultimately talked her out of her protest (saying, "You f–k with the president and the government, your security is not the same, and neither is your family's"), she firmly stands by her decision not to attend the event. "I'm not going to go to the White House because I am not going to be a monkey for Pride," she explained, before criticizing the administration's walked-back statement about gender-affirming surgery for minors. "Thank God I didn't go because they just made a huge statement about trans kids."

 

It's fine you didn't know about it before. But now that you know her misgivings with the current admin are public and easily found on Google and she has talked about both on stage and in interviews, are you willing to admit you are wrong?

 

Also, she seems more articulate and educated than most here, being up-to-date with the admin trans policies and genocide support. That makes her much more intelligent and a much better person than a bootlicker blindly endorsing Kamala.

He was already president and the world did not end, you're really falling for the brainwashing TWICE wtf

Life certainly, and literally, ended for a few woman who were unable to receive life-saving procedures during their pregnancies because of Donald Trump, but keep deluding yourself while you vote for an actual ******* rapist. You're absolutely vile.

Don't forget that also because Obama refused to codify abortion rights (something he promised to do and did not despite having the majority at the time) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg who refused to step down despite being old and sick when activists were pleading with her because she liked the symbolism of Hillary Clinton choosing her replacement.

 

A bunch of powerful political figures failed women, including quite a few from the liberal camp you plead blind loyalty to. Instead of being mad at them, you are mad at a popstar that refuses to endorse a genocide-enabling party. That's either ignorance or you just a boot-licking bad person.

In tune with today's reality to the point you can just brush a genocide under the carpet. And people like you still think you have any moral superiority. Only in America.

Just a reminder of what your average ATRLer blindly endorse

Darling, it literally did. The Supreme Court decision was in late June 2022. By that point, Biden was president for almost 7 months.

 

Embarrassing that this is new info to you.

[More Than A Melody]

I seem to have arrived late to the party on this thread. I don't need celebrities to endorse a candidate. I'm glad Taylor did it, for instance. I talked about how much it worried me to see her hugging Brittany Mahomes and not denounce Trump's AI endorsement, and she switched that around thankfully, even going a step beyond by endorsing Kamala. But I would've been fine with her just saying she didn't endorse Trump and not hugging Brittany lol. Prefacing with this because I want to be coherent.

 

I couldn't give less of a rat's ass if Chappel endorses Kamala or not, but she should've stayed quiet about it. Her comments are ignorant and privileged. Not everything requires her opinion. And she could easily just blacklist the question, like I presume most artists have.

[Iñakifan]

I give it two years until she's a full blown MAGA.

Please come with any other MEANINGFUL POINT. That point is moot to Americans.

 

There's genocide happening consistently in the Motherland (Aka Africa) for yall to have cell phones and social media to complain on and yall have said zero about that over the past decade. 

 

What about the millions dying in the Congo? 

 

Stop being a PICK THIS and realize the big picture here which is not what you're talking about. 

 

Get rid of your tunnel vision and virtue signalling and learn to care about more than one cause sis! 

 

This goes for Chappell too! 

 

The world is literally running on Genocide of black Africans for decades and yall don't even know!

It's literally American taxpayers financing the Palestinean genocide with the US governor as the biggest enabler.

 

Is that the case for other so-called hypothetical genocides going on right now? Is that the case for Congo? Are American taxpayers financing said genocide? Is the US government enabling it? If it's not, can you tell me why you're equating it when the issue at hand is the US election?

[Thesedays]

@Hector, do you have anything to add to this discussion? You are disagreeing with the fact US taxpayers and the Dem admin are the one financing the current genocide? Or are you of the opinion genocides that have no direct relation to the US general public should be brought up to this election? If so, why? Please, do let us know!

Are American tax dollars being shipped over to fund the genocides in Africa that you're trying to deflect* from the actually taxpayer-funded genocides that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are enthusiastically supporting?

These people are morally bankrupt and think they're good people because they vote for Kamala Harris. It's insane to witness.

 

They will try to find any excuse to derail the discussion from the genocide their taxpayer money is going to and the party they see as the "good" ones is financing.

I'm only gonna reply to you once, so read carefully.

 

One of the largest economies in the world, which owns most of the nuclear weapons in the world, and most of the military bases in the world, is in danger of falling under the dictatorship of a right wing lunatic with no qualms for any sort of human life other than his own, with the IQ of a small ant, and an army of sycophants cheering on anything he says.

 

Because of his rule, a pandemic was made infinitely more deadly, there was a first attempt to end democracy, there's now a severe right leaning on one of the three branches of government (which will probably stay the same for decades to come), children were kept in cages, separated from their parents, women across the board lost a right they'd had for decades, which caused multiple women to die or suffer tremendous pain and life-altering conditions.

 

There's now an explicit plan to end America as you know it, backed up by his team and himself, as much as he tries to deny it. If Donald Trump wins, the world as we know it ends. This isn't me being hyperbolic or exaggerating. It is a fact. The man has already said that "you will only need to vote this once."

 

You running up and down this thread trying to strawman argue the very valid points being brought to you, under the guise of some sort of misguided moral justice, is simply put, ridiculous. Not a single politician on the face of the planet will ever meet the standard you're setting, because the second they get a whiff of power they lose all humanity. You're trying to fine tooth comb your way out of "both sides are bad," and it's just eyeroll inducing to witness.

 

I don't think anyone here is a Kamala Harris stan. They just recognize that one is a flawed politician who will most likely disappoint and the other one is the spawn of Satan, and quite frankly, I much rather not live in actual hell. Thank you.

Sis yes, wtf are you talking about? Every American administration has contributed directly. Tax payers contribute directly. We have been since the 1940's! Worldwide in fact. It doesn't matter if you live in the USA, China, Isreal, Australia, Pakistan, India, the UK, Palestine. You have contributed to the genocide of millions of black Africans and their enslavement to produce televisions, cell phones, tablets, computers, data center materials, for the WORLD. 

 

Whats your basis for classifying these as "so-called, hypothetical Genocides"? You can't give that your energy becuase you don't give a ****. 

 

You genocide peddlars are literally plants. And literally only care about yourselves. Be quiet! 

 

And idc about a thumbs down. This is facts.

All that user does is downvote any Kamala/Biden/Hillary/Dems criticism. Blue MAGA is so real. And they'll tell you that they "care about poor Palestinians ;((((".  

[LadyFlopga]

Chappell posted a tiktok explaing herself, She also said She will not vote for Trump!

[State of Grace.]

The fact that she had to do this....Sigh. But at least she called out the dense ******* and Kamala fangirls here for not reading her interviews and claiming she's a Trumpster.
