    Why the fuck is Kamala bringing her to events?

    In August 2023, three former backup dancers filed a lawsuit against Lizzo, her production company, and her dance captain Shirlene Quigley, accusing them of sexual, religious, and racial harassment, disability discrimination, assault, false imprisonment, creating a hostile work environment, and weight-shaming.[135][136][137] Following the allegations, a former creative director for Lizzo and another former backup dancer showed support for the three claimants, saying they both had similar experiences working with Lizzo.[138]

    Filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison released a statement supporting the dancers. The director traveled with Lizzo in 2019 for her documentary but dropped out of the project. Allison wrote, “I witnessed how arrogant, self-centered, and unkind she is… reading these reports made me realize how dangerous of a situation it was.”[139]

      Because shes hip with the yutes, as the kids say. In seriousness, Harris’ campaign is being run by mostly the same people from Clinton’s campaign. If Republicans put up, present or past tense, any other candidate, Harris would lose. It wouldn’t be a close race.

      But since Trump killed off enough off his voters and seems to want to just end the campaign already, these ridiculous antics will be rewarded and.common place for the next few elections.

        The youts turned on her when the allegations about how terrible she treated her dancers came out. Her tiktoks recieved tens of millions of likes before the allegations. Then she disappeared from the app

          I think they meant the people running this campaign are the ones that ran the last two, and they’re comically inept…

          So why “the youts” are over Lizzo, the people running Kamala’s campaign have zero idea.

        Trump also appeals to a lot centrists because he gives off “strong man” vibes and attacks people they are uncomfortable with without appearing radical. That’s why they’re going so hard on “trans” right now.

        Also, people seriously forget about shit from 4 years ago. Any Dem would be facing the same problem.
