    I hate that this is what it takes to get some people to vote, but at least they’re going to vote. Hopefully.

      For those of us who don’t celebrity worship, this isn’t news. Anyone paying attention knows she leans left. Why anyone cares what a billionaire has to say is beyond me; there’s no such thing as a moral billionaire. That said, if you care about democracy, vote.

      One of the most influential people currently alive endorsing a political candidate is absolutely news.

            The propaganda it’s so evident in this case that the ones not seeing it may be stupid for real

                Corporate mass media article with ties to the government talking about a billionare celebrity endorsing the government. Where do you think they spend billions or dollars in propaganda on? If you search enough you can probably find the receipts of their deals.

              I’m sorry to break the news to you, but you’re definitely not as smart as your mom told you

                So let’s hear the opinion of a genius: where does the government spend billions of propaganda in? Where do the red and blue party spend all their electoral campaign money on? How did an artist with mediocre skills become a billionare and so popular that their endorsing of a politician gets spammed multiple times on lemmy feed?

      Yeah I actually thought she wouldn’t ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact. Which - I would guess that it was. Not that it’s a bad thing.

      Anyway I didn’t think she would because I’m certain she lost some fans tonight - deciding to step into this race in such a major way. And the cynic in me thought she was more interested in money and wouldn’t risk her image. I’m glad I was wrong.

        After the AI image ordeal she released a statement saying “for the safety of her fans” and being mid-tour she wouldn’t release a statement until after he tour ended…which coincidentally was after the election.

        Maybe she got some blowback because that would be the coward’s way out (publicly denounce the orange turd if he lost, or just make it a minor, non-issue if he won), but also being more concerned with the $$ her tour makes by staying out of it.

        I’m glad she nutted up and chose a side in this and has some sway with her non-tween rapid fan base. It certainly won’t make me atart listening to her music though.

      Why are right wing parties obsessed with AI posters? And like HORRIFICALLY BAD AI posters? They’re creepy as hell. In my country too, it’s just unsettling. I guess it’s easier than a photoshoot and allows you to make any obscene shit you want… Or just straight up lie.

        I think you already answered your own question there. GenAI makes it really easy to flood a platform with loads of bullshit, and as a consequence make any point seem (at least somewhat) believable

      Yeah, this news is so irrelevant that it gathered a lot of buthurt people to go on posts and videos about it to say how much they don’t care. Let’s be honest, it’s not that they don’t care, they are bothered by it, they are concerned and afraid.

      And right now this is the top post on lemmy. Very irrelevant, right?
