As a general rule, I couldn't care less what a singer or actor has to say about politics. That also applies to Ms. Swift's revelation that she will be supporting Democrats in the coming election.
What I find appalling is the fact that it took a singer posting a "get out the vote" link on social media in order to get some to register to vote. Seriously? Do these idiots not know how to use Google? If someone is that apathetic and lazy, I'm not sure I want them tainting the electorate with their vote. How much can they add to the public discourse if they can't be bothered to google "how to register to vote", without being prodded by a prominent singer.
Don't get me wrong. I'm genuinely hoping that moderate Democrats take over the party and then hand Trump a massive defeat at the polls. What worries me is all these extreme leftists who are as empty in the head as their rhetoric is devoid of credibility.
If I want a political opinion, I'll go to those who make a living thinking. For example: philosophers, writers, authors, science educators, jurists, economists, diplomats, humanitarians, ethicists, skeptics, free-thinkers, and perhaps a few podcasters.
