had she been clear initially in the interview

But she ******* WAS. That's the ******* issue. Y'ALL were the ones purposefully misinterpreting her words and reading PopBase headlines are coming to wrong conclusions. When she talks about critical thinking skills, stuff like that is included.

which allowed thousands of fans to question her political intentions

Yes I'm sure fans of the person who has denied singing for the white house because of the genocide they support, has drag queens opening up her concerts and is openly queer were VERY confused about her political stance... jfc 

[Marianah Adkins]

The Chappell Roan discourse is so exhausting and does nothing for Kamala other than turning off potential voters who could've voted for her but wouldnt. 

 

If Chappell doesnt want to endorse then fine lets move on. Atleast she's voting for her. Attacking her further will only reinforce the notion that Dem liberals are bullies who cant stand to see other left perspectives— which is honestly a truthful statements given how the DNC has done nothing but spite the Left while courting Bush and Reagan Republicans lmao. 

 

And please enough with the Trump or die messaging. Everybody already knows that Trump is a POS and still he is this close to retaking the White House. At this point, you have to convince voters further other than "I'm not Trump"

[Kimbra]

Not the conservative family she loves being a REPUBLICAN LEGISLATOR.

I think she might have sort of narcissistic mental disorder. The way she acts, talks. It's telling. She just comes off very insufferable right now.

I already did sis can you not read my comments.  In fact you missed the entire point furthering your entry into the Olympic FINALS for Tunnel Vision! Foh and simply learn to care about more than one thing but your self and this weaker than weak virtue signaling. 

 

Tunnel Vision indeed. You have absolutely no idea what's going on in the world other than this, nor do you care.

 

You have absolutely no meaningful rebuttal. Goodbye 

Girl, I asked you a simple question. You said you "already did". Let me take a quick look at your last word salad:

 

Quote

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. 

Is that the current genocide Kamala and Biden are financing with your taxpayer money? Or is that just a way to obfuscate the fact you don't care about the genocide and wants to treat it as some abstract concept?

 

Also, how do you expect me to have a meaningful rebuttal when you're literally saying nothing that makes sense? I mean, how the fact capitalism and the current system exploits people lessen the fact that Biden and Harris are enabling a genocide that is escalating into a full blown Middle Eastern war?

it's admirable that she has noble intentions and speaks out, but she's attracting a very specific group of people with all these statements - the ultra righteous, moral superiority on social media 24/7 kinda crowd. if she slips up or makes one wrong move, they will turn on her immediately 

Like the neo-libs that want to gaslight everyone into voting Killmala and smear everyone who has any sort of criticism of her and by far outnumber that specific group of people that you mention haven't turned on her already.

[tachiwaka]

The mispronunciation of Kamala's name speaks volumes to me. 

[Bosque]

It was revealed that her uncle is Darrin Chappell, a Republican state represenative. In light of that I think it makes more sense why she is expressing herself like this. (Not saying she's a secret Republican or anything but it helps understand why she chose the formulations she did)

It's quite disgusting how the Coconuts For Kamala girls and genocide apologists bullied her into posting yet another video to say "I'm voting for ******* Kamala but I still won't be endorsing her!" when that has been her stance since the Rolling Stone interview but people were being deliberately obtuse and choosing to only read bad faith and out of context posts/tweets. Imagine if they put this much anger and energy into actually pressuring their favorite candidate to do better re: genocide, trans people issues, M4A, her right-wing immigration policies, etc. You're all so pathetic.

 

And she does not need "media training" and "a publicist". I'm actually glad we have a pop star with a moral spine and one who is not afraid of calling out the bullshit in the two-party US system and refusing to align herself with the genocidal Democratic Party. She's saying absolutely nothing wrong and her stance on several issues is clear as day. You can keep the perfectly crafted statements by +10 people to your faves who continue to stay silent on these issues because it's convenient for them.

The problem with impotent TikTok activism is the two party system is all we've got. You can keep making word salad tiktoks that say nothing of substance beyond meaningless platitudes like "vote local" or "do your research" (while she mispronounces Kamala's name and refuses to address a man wrongly executed in her home state) but the reality is you're either voting for Kamala (which she apparently is so everything else was pontless grandstanding for overly emotional teenagers) or giving Trump another term so just do that if you are so morally pure and accept the consequences of your choice.

[XXI.]

I can relate to some of what Chappell is saying. Politics are often deeply corrupt. Look at Donald Trump—he's faced multiple assassination attempts, yet if he gets elected, I doubt he'll support any gun reform just because he's a Republican. It's astonishing. Here's a guy who's been directly impacted by gun violence, yet he won't push for change.

 

 

It's perfectly fine to be independent and acknowledge that neither side has all the answers. And let's not forget that Kamala wasn't elected by the people; she was selected by the elites. What's democratic about that? However, of the two choices I will be voting for Kamala personally.

This is so braindead idek where to start. On one hand people expect activism like endorsing someone or else she is a secret trumpist because she has family that are most likely gonna vote for him, they want the words, they wanna hear "I am voting Kamala" but then that just gets called nothing. She "refuses" to acknowledge an innocent man who got executed??? Are you serious? So there you are again wanting more tiktok activism because what is celebrities posting about this on socials gonna do? NOTHING! Take it up with the politicians who can have a say in this, who can influence this so it doesn't happen again if this weighs on your mind so heavily. But it doesn't. You don't give a **** about this you just wanna dunk on this woman some more. Go ahead and call out every single celebrity who didnt post about this cause they're all complicit right? They all REFUSE to say anything. You're using the wrongful death of this man to dunk on a woman who is receiving online abuse for speaking her mind and actually has more of a point than everyone just calling her annoying. The lack of literacy in general on here is so staggering. You can vote for Kamala without endorsing her and can still criticize what she is doing and saying. That is ALL she is saying and yet people are too ******* stupid to pick up on it. 

And all this for a woman who has 3.6 million followers on tiktok and 4.9 million on IG with visibility mainly among young people. If Taylor Swift's full on endorsement doesn't sway anything then what makes you think an up and coming singer will change anything? There is 0 reason to be so invested in who she's voting for and endorsing. Just say what you really wanna say without masking it with this pseudo moral high ground, that you don't have. 

[dabunique]

i'm still tryin to find out what side of da democratic party was passing transphobic laws like she said

 

 

[Marianah Adkins]

The random lashing at Chappell is the perfect example of punching down that coastal liberals (actually liberals in general) are known and hated for lmao. 

 

Chappell is no megastar and yet ppl are acting as if the entire election is on her shoulders. You are just making enemies when what you need is expanding the coalition for Kamala. The arrogance is giving Hillary Hens 2.0

And lmao at the mention of her GOP uncle when most of the popstars we stan here have GOP fathers appearing in Fox News. Hypocrisy

Genuine question, what are the transphobic policies of the DNC she speaks of?

....so certain people go silent when actual questions are asked?

 

There's a lot of virtue signaling and superiority politics at play here. As I've said from the beginning, her views feel very "college liberal" and disconnected from reality 

[ClashAndBurn]

Pretty much how I feel. If the Democrats lost every election from now on, then that'd be what these motherfuckers would deserve.

Transgender issues largely absent from the DNC

 

its the lack thereof

since you have an issue with this, are you also going to call out the DNC for not including the abolition of the death penalty for the first time since 2016?

flippantly calling that 'transphobic' is dangerous

 

it implies equalness with the literal transphobic policies of the RNC

maybe for people who can't think, yeah

 

not having policies in place to protect the most vulnerable groups of your country is automatically discriminatory but arguing over semantics is useless when we both know that the DNC doesn't care about trans lives.

The level of liberalism in here, far too much.

 

Kamala has been transphobic in the past and defends a genocide. The fact that her party will potentially do more for US citizens (emphasis on citizens and not refugees/immigrants) does not invoke a carte blanche.

You just did it again  You're not saying anything. You haven't answered a question nor made a single point. See how every sentence you type up legit ends with a query? Do you even have your own answers? Its like your regurgiating what you saw on some virtuous Twitter post. 

 

Word salad? Sis eat the salad and digest. Good gawd.
