    I know she’s popular, but are people really gonna go “I was going to vote for Trump, but Taylor said I should vote for Camala, so that’s what I’ll do”?

      She stated that since someone on Truth Social posted an AI-generated image of her endorsing Trump she felt she must set the record straight.

      She wrote why she’s voting for Kamala. She then encouraged her fans to research the candidates and decide for themselves which one best represented their own viewpoints.

      I did like her reminder that if you’re a new voter you do need to register first!

      But at no point did she tell anyone who to vote for…

        That “get registered” is one of the things I don’t understand why hasn’t been changed. In Spain you can vote the moment you are 18. No need to register anywhere. The only register that need to be updated is “where you live”, so you go vote to your nearest location.

          One of our two parties wins more when more people vote.

          Therefore, the other party must oppose voting by the largest groups, such as young people and people who live in cities.

          The less popular party also has disproportionate control of government policy.

          Which is to say, they oppose democracy itself. It is only a question of degree

          Question, when you move to a new place in Spain, do you need to register residency with the police?

          I don’t know if Spain does that or not, but I think Italy does some version.

          The United States doesn’t have that, and doesn’t have a national id card. Although most people effectively register themselves to get a driver license, that is only required if you drive. So voter registration nominally provides some way for the government to get the information on residency, which is important for figuring out which local elections you need to vote in.

          Now recently, in the last couple of decades, some states started requiring photo id verification to vote. This defeats the purpose of having a separate voter registration system, because you still have to go to the driver registration system to get either a driver license, or a non-driving photo ID. Nevertheless, the separate voter registration system has hung around in every single one of these states, because the real goal is to prevent people from voting.

            Not with the police. With the town hall. It’s not mandatory but saves you some headaches with paperwork.

      She commands one of the most loyal fan followings in existence. It’s like, moving the needle percentages large and loyal, and also, disproportionately in places like GA, NC, FL, where it’s still tough going for Kamala.

      She got thousands of her fans to register to vote not long ago. I’m guessing they’ll vote for who she wants whether she tells them to or not.

      I find it hard to believe but according to a fan of hers I once talked to, they would vote for a rabid raccoon if she endorsed it.

      Probably not, but I’m sure some people are really gonna go, “I wasn’t going to bother voting, but Taylor said I should vote for Kamala.”

      At this point, this is a game of turnout.
