        A chappell roan is any young female pop artist who doesn’t know what fascism is, but is inclined to vote for it when she sees it.

          You’re not fighting the very real danger of Trumps fascist christian natiolism by intentionally misrepresenting leftists. Please stop.

            She’s a pop singer who seemingly upset a lot of internet people (but not many real people) for saying “yeah, I’m voting for Kamala, but I won’t endorse her because the democratic party hasn’t done enough for the LGBTQ or minority groups and I’m not keen on the Israel support thing”

              Soooo…. She doesn’t understand that a vote is an endorsement?

                Endorsing a candidate or a party places an additional seal of approval on the actions and beliefs of that candidate/party. There’s a difference between saying “between ham or fish, I pick fish” and “I believe fish is the right choice for everyone, fish has qualities that I myself would like to emulate and believe in”.

            No, she is a young female pop artist who is terminally online and has a near non existent PR team.

            She sits there and makes tiktoks based off of people’s response to her political takes.

            She essentially said that of course she’s going to vote for Kamala, the policies on the right are awful and some of the policies on the left are too (yes she worded it like that lmao). She said she couldn’t endorse Kamala because she doesn’t agree with everything democrats are doing.

            It’s just a bunch of immature both-sides takes, the democrats have to be Christ level of perfection else they’re just as bad as the fascist Rs.

            To no surprise people tore her statements apart and she would get more and more angry posting dumber responses.

            She needs to quit social media and hire someone asap

      Even going back to the first few seasons, there were an awful lot of misses, and very few hits.

      We used to laugh about the killer bees, John Belushi’s Samurai, the coneheads, Dan Aykroyd saying, “Jane you ignorant slut!” on every Weekend Update, but when I look at them now, I’m not sure if the humor was there or just going along with the peer pressure.

      On the other hand, I look at the old SCTV shows, and most of the sketches hold up very well.

    It honestly wasn’t bad, and I certainly don’t see it as condemning Chappell. Honestly it’s saying it’s ridiculous to expect her to endorse a candidate or to be in the public eye 24/7. It’s very straightforward.

      A pop star that has had an enormous rise to popularity this last year. By all accounts, she seems to be a very good person who’s main controversies have been burn out and stress from becoming a household name overnight.

      You’d probably recognise a fair few if her songs from just hearing them in public. A lot of songs from her album were very well received.

        She also recently upset some fans by implying that she might vote for a fascist in the upcoming presidential election.

          No she didn’t

          She’s said she’s voting for Kamala but that this is not the same as an endorsement by Chappell Roan ®™©

          But people heard the words “problems on both sides” and deliberately took it completely out of context and have been bullying her about it for weeks

            Right? She literally just said what a lot of people on Lemmy think, which is that the Democrats suck because they’re still supporting Israel and they also suck because they aren’t progressive enough. Regardless, she’s going to vote for Kamala because that’s the choice we have right now. I applaud her statement.

    My partner tried showing me last night. I told her to turn it off because it was stupid and unfunny.
