Today is the first Tuesday of November. It’s the day when we vote in the United States for president/vice president and other government officials.
The most important vote is of course for president/vice president. I really hope that history won’t repeat itself and the election won’t be dragged out for weeks, with votes still being counted.
Now what’s with all these celebrities urging people to vote for Harris… Would they still do that if her running mate was someone other than Trump?
Billie Eilish stopped performing during one of her concerts to tell the fans to vote for Harris. Politics should be left out of concerts, just like they should be left out of awards shows.
I hope those who cast their vote for Harris do so not because celebrities tell them to do it but because they truly believe she is the better choice for them and for this country.
And no matter their political party people shouldn’t vote for someone just because they dislike the other candidate. Just because someone is not a fan of or dislikesTrump as a person is not a good reason to vote for Harris in this election.
Seems very few publicly support Trump. I guess they are afraid they will get cancelled or that their careers may suffer as a result…
Adam Lambert posted in his IG story that if you support Trump to please unfollow him. I wonder how many followers he lost because of this.

Trump has said things that some people can't get over. The biggest one that comes up is his joking about some guy's junk. And apparently he's claiming we'll become a dictatorship if he is elected. Somehow I think most who vote for Haris only do so because they forgot how govornment works.

I never heard him say that we’ll become a dictatorship if he is elected.

But they have been after Trump as soon as he became president in 2016, if not when he announced that he is running.

@lovebuglena Yeah, I know. However, when he announced he was running in 2016 I don't think anyone expected him to win. All the presidents before him had some military or political background. He did not.

This is a very important election. I think that celebrities have a voice just like anyone else. I think that Swift said what she said and others just followed her. It was good to have Swift start it all because I hope it got more young people out to vote. I think people have a right to state their views wherever and when ever as long as it is done peacefully.. Doesn't matter if it is at a concert or award show.
In some situations, it is good to vote for one to put the other one out. It depends on the situation.
Why would anyone support Trump? I think that most people have common sense and see Trump for who he is. I feel sorry for those who have been gaslighted by him and his colleagues. I hate to think of him winning the election. I guess we will see who wants a democracy and who wants a dictatorship.

Concerts are for enjoying music and awards shows are for celebrating the best in music and movies and television. They are not meant for politics. If someone wins an award I don’t want them getting political in their acceptance speech.

I hope a lot more young people voted in this election. That’s important.

I don´t agree with you. There are many times when one does not vote for a political party but against one or against a person. I voted in my country at a primary for a candidate because the other one was a communist. And I don´t like extremes. As for celebrities, this is a world where influencers have power.

I think people should vote for the candidate and not for the political party. Like if someone is a Democrat but the better candidate happens to be Republican they should vote for the Republican candidate. And vice versa.
