celeb news Chappell Roan on not endorsing Kamala Harris: "There's problems on both sides"

[Taylor fanboy]

Pick a side and demand accountability.

anyone with a brain that wasn't looking for a reason to twist her words could understand what she was saying. she shouldn't have to make tiktoks explaining why she doesn't want to endorse anyone  

[Onyxmage]

Im happy for her that she has the privilege of not voting in this election and not being affected. This is apparently ATRLs new It Girl.

[Joesuxx]

This is the girl everyone's going crazy for? She comes across incredibly immature and inarticulate, someone get her some PR training stat. Also agree with the comments about her cosplayed queerness.

She doesn't have to, she's choosing too, and tbh, this hasn't really clarified anything 

[Princess Aurora]

I don't see anything wrong with her statement  I think people's reaction was over the top. However, she could have worded it better.

since she's received a diagnosis of severe depression her team should stop booking all these interviews and encourage her to take time off. she's going through enough without a hate train starting because she's still working while she's unwell

[Jay07]

She doesn't have to do anything but she put herself in this position by once again offering her childish "opinions" (like she does over and over and over) and I don't blame people for wondering what she meant when she chose to say something without saying anything at all. She told people to make their own choice? Okay? Thanks, I guess?

 

Not to mention that both sidesing the two parties is dishonest and NOT using the nuance and critical skills she keeps banging on about.

no wonder the coconut zombies can't comprehend her message. all of them are literally defending and endorsing a genocide being funded by their candidate while failing to realize that things aren't black and white and that you can vote for kamala without blindly agreeing to everything she does and all of her policies and that her criticism is valid

This girl should really juat adopt the Beyoncé approach to interviews

[Witnessed ET]

Not gonna comment on her video essay or her stance, but what she said isn't that wrong? People are so fixated on celebs "endorsing" someone without thinking critically themselves. 

[ScorpiosGroove]

i'm so ******* tired of hearing from that girl 

[Bloodflowers.]

Let me give After Midnight a stream

[KahnumDash]

someone sew her lips together before she embarrasses herself

[Haze]

She's obviously to the left of Kamala and the democratic party, which in any European country for instance would be regarded as a right wing party (ethically progressive on reproductive or identitarian issues isn't enough to count as left wing if your economic principles are neoliberal trash). I don't think Chapell is articulating herself particularly well, but any reading of her words otherwise just reek of bad faith. I have no idea why the american gays are so hell bent on some sort of allegiance to Kamala, at least push her towards the left, at least make her feel accountable for the GENOCIDE the current regime is perpetrating. The true damage of the Trump administration is everybody is too shell shocked to expect any step forwards from the democrats, and basically everyone has to count their lucky stars of a status quo is achieved. But guess what mimi, roe vs wade was overturned under a Biden administration. Why should Chapell endorse the same policies? It's not like Taylor Swift where people were unsure if she wasn't a republican.

[Cloudy]

She sounds dumb af She said a bunch of nothing

[mael]

Her heart is in the right place...

Chappell's formula

- Give tons of interviews even thou she hates fame

- Say controversial statement or dumb things in those interviews

- Social Media drags her, she will cry about it

- Post tiktok about people bullying her

- Rinse and Repeat

 

[Uncatena]

a **** ton of replies in this thread being one degree away from "shut up broad and make me a sandwich" and purposefully misconstruing her words really shows you everything you need to know about how y'all want to treat this girl because a genocide is a red line for her

 

wishing her a long and successful career so she can piss y'all off even more

And the point that's being presented to you is that you can scream this until you're blue in the face but you won't convince anyone of it as long as Harris veers right.

 

I'm not trying to convince anyone. I'm ON ATRL. I'm not here grassrooting for Kamala. Which is why you're literally arguing for the sake of arguing. That is my point.

 

Spoiler

How can Trump be worse than Harris if Harris is copying his immigration plans? That's the logic of most voters.

Hey so this is actually crazy. Just FYI.

Yeah like I really don't understand what they're finding so wrong about her comments? Where is this outrage coming from? Do people even think anymore? 

[Ryusei]

People saying she is cosplaying queerness are legit crazy. What would you say if someone invalidated your identity based on some misread comments mixed with bitterness over many things people won't be ready to admit here because they wanna seem more intellectual than the woman they have decided to hate.

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.

 

I was starting to dislike her for some of the things going on lately, but I have to say this is BRAVE and WISE.

[SeeingStars1515]

The words "both sides" are exhausting at this point. Both sides are different. I agree both sides might have issues but we need to all be VERY clear that any vote that supports Trump (whether for him or 3rd party in 2024) hurts the communities she says that she cares so much about. 

 

EDIT: I saw her video where she explains herself - and I appreciate that. She doesn't NEED to endorse Kamala because of her views on Palestine (I think thats very fair) but I do think she has influence over many young people who can make impact to ensure Trump doesnt get back in the white house while continuing to press for more left leaning politicians.
