    To put that into perspective, the 2020 US Census found there are around 258.3 million adults in the country. If that and the aforementioned survey are correct, that means there are nearly 137 million voting-age Swift supporters situated across the US, or approximately 60% of the total number of votes cast in the 2020 presidential election for either Biden or Trump.

    I’ve always said a third party vote is a waste.

    But the vast majority of my presidential votes has been for candidates I think will be bad presidents, just a Republican would be worse.

    If Tay Tay ran a third party campaign…

    I’d vote for her in a heartbeat, literally every reason that’s making me vote Biden is true for her as well. She has the support to pull it off, enough that if she ran, voting for Biden would be the “throwing your vote away” choice.

    Even if she literally did nothing as president, that’s better than Biden only doing some of the awful shit trump would do.

        It’s not even much of a joke.

        Like, we have to put up with Dems favoring corporations and all types of shit because “that’s what it takes to get elected”.

        But Taylor doesn’t need to do that to get elected.

        Her campaign could literally consist of a tweet saying:

        I’m registered to run in the 2024 election

        And her fans would take it from there.

        The Democratic party just insists on running geriatrics that over 50% of the country hate. It’s a terrible strategy, but that’s what happens when the people coming up with the strategy are geriatrics over 50% of the country hates…

        They’re just going to keep saying they’re the ones who should be in power, and since they’re a private organization we have no other choices…

        A billionaire celebrity is literally the only one who can win from outside the system and has a chance to fix it.

        Reason 2,763 why America’s political system is so fucked, only Tay Tay can save us

      Gotta love the fame worshipping going on in this entire thread. People are fawning over one billionaire versus another.

        If you’re only comparing someone to trump or Biden, most people are going to seem like the “no brainer” pick for president.

        It’s what happens when Dems aim for just slightly better than Republicans’ consistent “worst candidate of all time”.

      That would be an interesting constitutional test too: she’s not currently eligible to be President (but by swearing-in time she will be)
