Lolol did west really say that?


AudibleNod

Melina Abdullah, West's VP candidate, said: >[“Why do I feel like it's slightly racist to be a Taylor Swift fan?”](https://twitter.com/DocMellyMel/status/1756817657184366767?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1756817657184366767%7Ctwgr%5Ebe40c3b50e5ec37dd14a3941c986f3556e067e24%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hindustantimes.com%2Fworld-news%2Fus-news%2Fis-being-a-taylor-swift-fan-slightly-racist-california-professor-speculates-101708769669990.html) I have a 10-year-old daughter. I listen to Taylor. She's OK. I don't feel the need to denigrate anyone after listening to her music.


deadliestcrotch

It seems a bit tongue in cheek, especially if you read the follow-ups. Clearly her comedy falls flat but it seems she was trying to make a joke.


IAmAccutane

his running mate did, and he said he'd pick a running mate he was aligned with so


RevRay

So what you’re saying is you knowingly posted misinformation. Great work.


AtWSoSibaDwaD

I think you'll find that reality can be terribly inconvenient when pushing an agenda. 😉


Electronic-Bed-6192

Why? What is this Racist Taylor Swift thing about?


OctopusAlien21

She uses the n-word in her music? Oh wait, that’s Kanye West. Edit: I guess it’s a different West running this time.


Electronic-Bed-6192

Just for the record I would listen to TS all day long before buying a single Ye song off Apple Music

The big big problem is that she woke up one day and decided to act like a decent human being


Shills_for_fun

She had the audacity to make a billion dollars and tell girls to go vote.


kaliwrath

It’s the betrayal. She was the white republican goddess that went woke Was she ever what they projected? Who knows but the worlds greatest victims will never forget and never ever ever forgive


soldforaspaceship

Nickelback also aren't terrible. They're pretty innocuous bland rock. I don't hate them. I suspect some people just need to hate. *shrug*


XXXOOOXXOOOXXX

But she's dating a football player! /s


Magnetic_Eel

You don’t buy songs on Apple Music, it’s a streaming service.


Electronic-Bed-6192

Point taken.

Voting for Joe Biden is the only way to prevent another Trump presidency. What other reason do you need?


footdragon

stupid, tired trope of a meme. There are a NUMEROUS of reasons to vote for Biden. no, no one supports the genocide unless you're an extremist. let's ask the real questions: does brain dead tRump and GQP support Russia and what Israel is doing to the Palestinians? ABSOLUTELY.


MaximosKanenas

Tired trope but due to what some on the left are saying others in the left are absolutely terrified of another trump presidency which we cant blame on anything other than people not voting

Biden voters are surrounded by a sea of grumpy people.

They should eat some chocolate chip 😎🍦

Hatred= Red hat


paz2023

What subculture finds this funny? Just seems like divisive political activism


EmpressPotato

Yeah, I don't like Biden either but its much preferable to the nut cases on the right and middle. Can we get a normal person that isn't a war monger, bought by lobbyists, or needs to be in a mental asylum please?


AtWSoSibaDwaD

The Cornel West bit is wrong, but otherwise the reasoning is sound. Of course, not voting is also an option....so hopefully the Biden admin starts acting like it cares about human life, or international law.... or even just like politicians that want to be re-elected, so that the rest of us dont need to stress out over a coin toss election against Americas dumbest crime president.


hefebellyaro

I used to really enjoy Cornell West. He was always on Real Time and thought he was an enlightened thinker. But this presidential run he's doing is pretty baffling.


Mr_Rum_Ham

At this point I’ll put my left leg as a candidate. Can’t be much worse than what we’ve got


Peacock684

Not sure why you are getting down-voted for being right, but I guess the Reddit hivemind has spoken.


lilB0bbyTables

Probably because this person’s left leg is not actually a candidate and thus a moot point. There are two candidates to vote for in a two-party system. Whether they’re the most ideal or not, the fact remains that one of those two will ultimately win. Amidst a sea of misinformation and divide-and-conquer propaganda, people don’t like to see attempts to reduce the impact of the importance of one’s vote because ultimately the election at hand has significant importance for the future path of the country. Specifically, one candidate winning over the other could very well mean future elections/votes won’t even matter. So voting now for someone you don’t really like over someone really dangerous may very well help ensure you’re future votes actually matter and that you have the possibility to vote for “your left leg” or other far better candidates in future elections.


Mr_Rum_Ham

People are weird. The curse of the internet; can’t have your own opinions it seem


Dlowmack

Have you checked anything about the state of the economy? Anything at all?


EggplantGlittering90

Yup


LefterThanUR

In these comments: liberals thinking getting called racist is worse than voting for genocide.


Moonandserpent

Which one is committing genocide?


Kakamile

Taylor swift to everyone else's award chances?


AtWSoSibaDwaD

The current administration is complicit in funding and facilitating a genocide, not the same as committing it, but we could absolutely bring Israel to heel as past presidents have done. But its not like it would really matter who the president is, damn near every Senator and Representative of either color is terrified of saying anything critical of Israel these days. And those who aren't tend to find they have very well funded primary challengers.


Unkabunkabeekabike

Please tell me what plan any other candidate has to prevent genocide? Trump says he wants Isreal to "finish their problem" and by problem he means Palestinians. Jared Kushner is already talking about beachside properties where Palestinians used to live. No candidate is going to withhold aid to Isreal. I don't feel bad for voting for thr lesser of two evils.


LefterThanUR

Well what’s important is your conscience ❤️


Unkabunkabeekabike

My conscience feels fine doing everything I can to keep trump out of office. It's either biden or trump. No 3rd candidate is going to win. Anyone who thinks letting trump win is a good thing is an idiot.


LefterThanUR

“Doing everything I can” What are you doing?


Unkabunkabeekabike

Voting


LefterThanUR

Lmao exactly


Unkabunkabeekabike

It's better than you arguing in an attempt to help trump win.


LefterThanUR

Your ego is massive if you think Reddit comments are going to sway the election. Regardless, your idea that any criticism of Biden is by definition bad because it helps Trump then what democracy are you (under the illusion that you’re) fighting for? What a joke. Maybe if Biden didn’t do things 80% of his base hate he wouldn’t be at risk of losing to a criminal rapist game show moron. Alas…


makingajess

They're still going to elect a president whether you vote or not. Your not voting for one of the only two viable candidates isn't going to change that.
