    Now the MAGA people are mad that they can’t use their AI pictures anymore and pretend they are real.

      Why are right wing parties obsessed with AI posters? And like HORRIFICALLY BAD AI posters? They’re creepy as hell. In my country too, it’s just unsettling. I guess it’s easier than a photoshoot and allows you to make any obscene shit you want… Or just straight up lie.

    Banking on the following comments from the right, which they use for every artist’s endorsement:

    They’re a has been washed up. Who even is this person? Guess I can cross him/her off my list I don’t even know who this person is, what does it matter? This won’t move the needle at all They should keep their options out of politics When is the last time this person has been relevant? Of course they would, all actors/actresses/artists are blue

    Spin the ol wheel and let’s see what we land on.

      I bet they’d also say if a pop star is influential on your political opinions, you’re a damn moron.

          Well, I’m not sure cameo appearances qualify “movie star.”

          And maybe they wouldn’t be that insightful. Either way, it’s a silly notion. We certainly should put weight in the political opinions of pop stars. Queen Latifahs endorsement of Biden is what swayed my vote.

          Edit: So… Everyone agrees pop stars political opinions are important? It’s ok that Queen Latifahs swayed my vote?

      Yeah I actually thought she wouldn’t ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact. Which - I would guess that it was. Not that it’s a bad thing.

      Anyway I didn’t think she would because I’m certain she lost some fans tonight - deciding to step into this race in such a major way. And the cynic in me thought she was more interested in money and wouldn’t risk her image. I’m glad I was wrong.

        She endorsed Biden in 2020. There are no fans that didn’t understand her political leanings.

        Yeah I actually thought she wouldn’t ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact.

        After the AI image ordeal she released a statement saying “for the safety of her fans” and being mid-tour she wouldn’t release a statement until after he tour ended…which coincidentally was after the election.

        Maybe she got some blowback because that would be the coward’s way out (publicly denounce the orange turd if he lost, or just make it a minor, non-issue if he won), but also being more concerned with the $$ her tour makes by staying out of it.

        I’m glad she nutted up and chose a side in this and has some sway with her non-tween rapid fan base. It certainly won’t make me atart listening to her music though.

    I honestly didn’t understand the media timing. It seems like it would be more effective to wait until the bump from the debate was over, then do the swift bump to keep the beat

      I don’t understand why people like you are pretending you don’t know who she is when she’s one of the biggest celebrities in the world with a giant fan base that does whatever she asks of them.

      I get it, you’re too good to listen to her music or whatever. I’m not even a fan of hers and I can recognize this as significant.

          I’m sorry, but this is like saying you don’t know who Elvis is in the late 1950s. Of course you won’t know who she is if you refuse to find out who famous musicians are. She’s so popular that her fans literally cause earthquakes just by dancing at the same time.

          https://deadline.com/2024/06/taylor-swift-seismic-activity-earthquake-edinburgh-concerts-1235972279/

          She was mobbed by so many fans at an airport in Tokyo that she caused flight delays:

          Like I said, I’m not a fan. I know what exactly one Taylor Swift song sounds like and it’s only because I was paid to do a parody of it many years ago.

          But I’m also not ignorant of global pop culture.

              Like I said, this is like saying you don’t know who Elvis is in the 1950s. Your ignorance of one of the most recognizable people on the planet is no one’s fault but yours.

                Like I said, I do know who she is… thanks to CNN and their desperate attempts at remain relevant among celebrity worshippers. Now it’s your turn to repeat exactly what you said before!

          “Wannabe musician” - that’s a laugh.

          This woman sings, dances, plays guitar and piano at her concerts for, like, three hours straight for sold out crowds all over the world where you have to get into a lottery to even buy tickets, but sure, she’s not a musician. Give me a break.

          The reason why her endorsement makes news is because she has 200M followers on social media, so whether you like it or not if she takes a stance one way or the other there will be people who listen.

            She does all that and yet it all sounds repetitive and bland. She might as well be replaced by an AI.

                  If that many people in your circle suck then, I hate to break it to you, you might be the one who sucks. Let them enjoy the music they like. I might not like the music you like but I won’t judge you for liking it.

              Like you and your comments. Bland and easily replaced by a bot. The only difference is SHE is followed by millions of young people. I’m not even sure you can stand yourself.

      She had kept her mouth shut right up until the Republicans co-opted her visage for a poorly generate AI endorsement.

      On that alone it’s not a surprise she’s endorsed Harris, her hand was forced.

      The broke nobody has chosen Trump. So surprising. Trump is only followed by loosers, like him.
