celeb news Chappell Roan didn't vote in previous elections; unreliable records show

[Digitalism]

Why are some of you assuming this information is real ?

[Goaty]

Isn't the source of this information known to be unreliable? 

[Polgg48]

literally witch hunt 101, her team should sue back for defame. oh wow

[StayFrosty]

Oh lord. She's gonna read the headlines and become "overwhelmed" for another 2 weeks.

[ChrispyBelievix]

y'all weird af looking that up. None of our bussiness.

 

PLUS is this typa info truly publicly available in the US? that's not very... democratic.

[dussel_06]

This is weird but I don't get the excuse that it's okay to not vote.

 

Sure you're privilege enough that your life will remain the same whether Trump or Kamala win. But there are people who are likely to be deported and rights taken away if one of the evils won. But yeah. It just show how performative their advocacies are. Yuck. 

[Sazare]

for what it's worth I checked the website on myself and it was mostly accurate but there was at least one election where I was marked down as not having voted when I did actually vote

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

If there's anything less useful than choosing not to endorse any candidate as a celebrity, it's this 

[Green]

Isn't the vote secret in the US??? What it's this mess? 

[IBeMe]

this is way too intrusive. your voting record should never leak tbh. Also, shaming undecided voters is NEVER a winning strategy. This is reeking of Hillary 2016 campaign vibes guys....this is not what Kamala wants...if you do this on a huge scale on your day to day life you will lose Kamala some potential voters. Ppl are stubborn and DO not like to be shamed or lectured

[Jay07]

I agree that this is invasive but it was also completely predictable that after all her self righteous rants and performative activism, she never even bothered to vote. Typical.

[Gelato]

i find the whole idea of the government disclosing who has voted in each election a bit weird

"Why are people weird?" says the user that harasses people for no reason.

Tell me some news 

[Communion]

Shocked that a 22-year-old from Missouri didn't vote in the 2020 Democratic primary after the youth vote candidate got the nomination stolen from him, tbh!

The vote is secret. But whether you're registered to vote or if you've voted is technically publicly available information.

 

A plurality of American voters do not vote. They are disproportionately young, poor, people of color, etc. 

 

 

2020 was better, having a huge boost in turnout. That was largely driven by things like younger people vote, but Chappell being from deep-red Missouri largely was a counter-weight against the likeliness to vote. 2020 is largely defined as Republicans starting to reach working class voters but Biden having strong youth turnout.

I don't like this approach. We have to motivate our sisters to go out and vote, because maybe 1 vote won't change anything, but when you add them together you can be the change that your country needs. Just saying. We should all vote and defeat the bigger evil. 

I don't think someone who *re-reads the person's bio* worked for the Democratic Party's Women's Caucus and the Center for American Progress ( @ClashAndBurn @nooniebao ) attacking a famous Zillennial is going to inspire youth turnout tbh! Genuinely very weird to be barely in one's 20's and already a shill for institutions of power like that person who tweeted this out is. The "ZOOMERS FOR HARRIS" influencer and DC employee types are all very soulless and oddly privileged.

 

The only strategy that has proven to inspire youth turnout was sweeping, big progressive policy promises.

 

Demanding that young voters accept right-wing policy and attack famous Gen-Z celebrities who are critical of Harris to destroy their credibility reads like poor strategy.

[dumbsparce]

Is this supposed to end her? If anything, it's extremely on brand.

[JoJo]

1. Searching for people's voting records is weird behavior and validates Chappell's criticisms 

 

2. she's from a deeply conservative town in Missouri. Her votes would not have made a difference, let's be real

CAP trying to rebrand as progressive as if anyone would ever forget Neera Tanden's tenure there. AOC's now giving policy talks there too:

This made me curious where Willard, Missouri is located in terms of congressional districts, and she'd be in one of these districts:

 

 

 

She'd be better off just buying a home in a swing state tbh! Even the Senate races she was alive for were kind of blowouts. 

 

There is a surprise potential closeness in the upcoming Senate race, but something tells me that Dem-apparatus employees attacking Chappell doesn't make her anymore gung-ho to go out and campaign for Kunce's long-shot campaign to defeat Hawley.

It's always the ones that don't go to vote the ones with the loudest mouths on election season

This is a weird take because, the people who are MOST vulnerable generally don't vote because… it truly doesn't matter who wins, their life won't be made better anyway

 

Y'all talk about this 'lesser of two evils' system as if the US government under Kamala won't deport, oppress, or take rights away. It will. It's called 'lesser or two evil" for a reason. The homeless, the undocumented and the poor will not have a better life regardless of whether the loud evil president or the 'polite' evil president wins

[UnRayuki]

If the source is unreliable why are we discussing this?

Civic disengagement isn't the flex you think it is and this is exactly how we ended up in the lesser of two evils system

No, if everybody boycotted elections then you'd have a President who got only 100,000 votes, they'd be a laughing stock and have no authority wwhatsoever.

 

The other option is to vote Democrats who do a load of terrible things you disagree with for the rest of your life because you think Republicans are a tiny bit worse.
