When Emerald Medrano learned Joe Biden was dropping out of the 2024 presidential election and endorsing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, Medrano knew he had to speak now – as his favorite artist, Taylor Swift, would say.

“I feel like us US Swifties should mass organize and help campaign for Kamala Harris and spread how horrendous Project 2025 would be to help get people’s butts down to the polls in November,” the 22-year-old posted to his 70,000 followers. He added a sobbing emoji. “Like if we don’t want democracy to end we really need to move and push blue votes.”

Fourteen thousand likes later, the coalition Swifties4Kamala was born. Dozens of people signed up to help and run accounts on X, Instagram and TikTok, as well as strategize activities and communications. Within three weeks, Swifties4Kamala amassed more than 180,000 followers across its social media platforms.

“We’re talking about throwing bracelet-making parties and talking to people there about making sure they’re registered to vote, making sure they know how to vote,” said Glick Pulito, a 36-year-old who works in political communications and worked on Biden’s 2020 campaign."

She’s the type who uses her parents’ money to open a candle store at the mall - and loses it all in less than a year. :)

That’s why they will make sure early mail-in, regular mail-in, and late mail-in voting is available to the lazy.

They can even get their mother to drop it in the box for them!

[TheBattman]

The simply fact that there is a mass movement by fans of Taylor Swift to support Kamala is enough to make me never even consider voting for Kamala (not that I would anyway - I’m not a Marxist).

not-so-swifties is more like it

True that. We are bedeviled by a scourge of illiterates who are ready to jump in and align with any sort of criminal outrage that comes along - the covid debacle is exhibit A. This is how mass travesties like the Third Reich are brought about.

A lot.

He won by 16,000 in 2016.

The rapefugees will rape them and they will wonder, “why me? I am not a racist like those ultra maga 2025 guys are.”

[Organic Panic]

They vote Nov 6th

[baclava]

78% of Swifties are in the 18-35 age group

Not kids, forget that hoax

[pfflier]

You look at the demographics of that group and have to realize they are already lost to the Republicans.

Young girls have been totally brainwashed regarding their right to "women's health (abortion)" and trannies...well they are less that 1% of the population but they also want their "women's rights".

[EinNYC]

They look like a collective “DUH”.

[Allegra]

Eewww.

[abbastanza]

How many of them are smart enough to find a place to vote.

[Ann Archy]

OMG!!!! Bad enough to have a WOMAN in charge of everything, let alone being put there by SILLY GIRLS and GIRLY BOYS!!

[SMARTY]

Right-the headline was confusing to me as well
