This isn't writing.

This is typing.

Wow. I have seen better writing from 10 year olds. /ref the article, not you

[MrEdd]

A rambling essay that meanders pointlessly from catchphrase to celebrity reference without ever quite focussing on a coherent purpose.

[Tzimisce]

It’s not about the people.

It’s about the right people. :)

Leave Taylor Swift alone. She has more than 83 million twitter followers and may be worth over $250 million. She wants everyone to like her.

Be prepared for a lot more of this. It’s not like all the newly unemployed Wellesley and Brown graduates are going to go get welding certificates and start building natural gas pipelines. No, they’re going to be starting blogs, sharing their over-written exercises in denial all across the internet.

Long story short, Taylor Swift is once again roasted over the coals for failing to endorse leftists causes.

The same thing happened a few months back with her lack of outrage over Donald Trump and her equal lack of enthusiasm over Hillary Clinton.

Swift (who I suspect leans liberal in her private life) is one of the few big names to hold onto the "shut up and sing" core value. She's smart enough to understand that she counts both Hillary voters and Trump voters among her fans (guilty as charged) and that she has absolutely nothing to gain by pissing half of them off. Fortunately for Swift, she has the star power to take marching orders from absolutely no one. And this really angers the left!

It is typical leftist virtue signaling and ingroup policing.

Just ideologicaly based power mongering, with hating America as a base place to start. Nothing based in reality (except for the hate).

[Drew68]

She wants everyone to like her.

And everyone pretty much does. That's why the libs are so angry that she won't piss off half her fanbase by endorsing their crusades.

She’s being presented an invaluable lesson about appeasement. And dealing with the perpetually offended left. I wonder if she gets it?

Fine, if it keeps them too busy to do something more damaging.

[Bullish]

I don’t have time to read such twaddle.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Celebrities be warned - if you aren't sufficiently strident about your hostility to Trump, you will get incoherent rants written in your direction in The Daily Beast.

If I'm not mistaken, The Daily Beast is the shambling revenant that rose from Newsweek's corpse.

Satire is not for amateurs. This drivel is embarrassing.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What the Hell do guys see in Swift? She looks like a transgendered Justin Bieber.

She must have some good you-know-what.

Amy needs to take a couple of midol and a nap....

She’s not exactly hot, but she’s just got a certain look that makes me go ohh!
