> [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > I have trouble believing that someone would change their vote because Taylor Swift says she endorses one side. I certainly agree. Very few people are going to change their voting minds at this point. However, turnout is going to be key in this election. More than 300,000 people going to a voter registration site in one day is not exactly a drop in the bucket. If Ms. Swift continues to push voter registration to her youngish, majority female fanbase, this could certainly make a difference.

> [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > Remains to be seen whether that influence is really there, I have trouble believing that someone would change their vote because Taylor Swift says she endorses one side. I think the bigger fear is that Swift endorsement might encourage people to actually get out and vote who might not otherwise have bothered. Republicans don’t want more people voting. ---

> [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > I have trouble believing that someone would change their vote because Taylor Swift says she endorses one side. It’s not a matter of changing votes, it’s about bringing in new likely voters. Young people are notoriously bad about getting out to vote, something that’s been true for a long, long time. Taylor Swift bringing it up motivates some of them to get involved: > **[More than 337,000 people visit Taylor Swift's link to register to vote](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/over-300000-people-visit-taylor-swift-link-register-vote-rcna170740)** > > The custom URL directed people to vote.gov, a website that helps visitors register to vote in their states. > The General Services Administration, which oversees the website, confirmed to NBC News that as of 2 p.m. ET Wednesday, 337,826 people had visited a custom URL that Swift posted on Instagram when she announced she was endorsing Harris. At a time when Presidential elections are usually decided by a few thousand votes in a few key states, bringing in over 300,000 new voters could make all the difference. Hell, even 30,000 might push it over the top. ---

I have a dream that Beyonce will do a cover of “Sufferin’ Until Suffrage” from _Schoolhouse Rock_ to drive more young women to the polls. Sadly she is almost certainly unlikely to be open to suggestions from random strangers. But she could totally rock the outfit.

Cheese sauce, maybe? Man, this is getting nasty, even for the Pit. It’s one of those disgusting incel / red pill memes, the idea being that when women have a “high body count” (multiple sexual partners ) it changes the appearance of their external genitalia. Roast beef is often used as a descriptor of this imaginary effect. Oddly enough, this imaginary effect doesn’t happen when a woman has frequent sex with the same partner. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > More than 300,000 people going to a voter registration site in one day is not exactly a drop in the bucket. That’s an interesting number (337K, from link), because it is almost exactly 1/1000 of the population of the United States. So, if the voters who registered via that link are evenly distributed across the population (a slightly dubious assumption, but let’s go with it) that would result in (all numbers approximations): 7200 new voters in AZ 10800 new voters in GA 10100 new voters in MI 3150 new voters in NV 10500 new voters in NC 13100 new voters in PA 6000 new voters in WI (and just for grins, 21800 new voters in FL and 29300 new voters in TX). Note that the Georgia number is almost exactly 1000 less than the 2020 margin, as given in the famous phone call. ---

Trump will not debate again, reports CNN. Claims to have won the last one, so no reason. Prefect opportunity for Harris to call him out **EVERY DAY** for being a chickenshit. It will make him lose his tiny mind! _"Hey, Chicken! What’s the matter? Tired of Winning so much already? C’mon! Let’s have another debate you can whip me at!! What are you afraid of? "_ ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > "Hey, Chicken! What’s the matter? Tired of Winning so much already? C’mon! Let’s have another debate you can whip me at!! What are you afraid of? " . As I think you know, Harris herself is unlikely to be so blatant about calling him out. (Little allusions here and there are probably all she’ll descend to.)
