    Why do others assign value to her perspective? Is she especially qualified to decide whom others should vote for?

      Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make.

      Swift quote from the article. She is telling people to make their own decisions, whilst announcing her own choice and making no claims about qualifications. What is wrong with this?

        What is wrong with this?

        Her reasoning isn’t communicated in adequate nuance to earn respect for her perspective. She’s chosen what’s safe, politic, and popular rather than risk what her conscience should tell her is right.

          Oh geez, I’m guessing you are the one who knows what’s right and speaks the true wisdom of all our consciences… Let us all bow down in respect to Sir Derpy of the correct nuance

            My standards are high relative status quo and average relative very basic moral and ethical analysis. I’ll encourage you to choose to also set a higher standard. As a human you deserve better.

        Why does anyone care what a singer and dancer thinks about political representation?

            My point is that not everyone’s opinion deserves respect.

            For example, you’ve resorted to strawman instead of asking a question. It’ll be quite difficult for me to respect anything else you’ve to say on the topic.

              Why on Earth would you say that, unless you think your opinion is important and valid and worthy of being heard? Yet you out here arguing other people’s opinions aren’t. Wow, great mind. Cry about strawmen a bit more.

                I say it because it’s the truth of your actions. It’s an error you’re now continuing to make.

                That won’t work out well for you, not even online. Best of luck.

          You’re asking more questions in this thread than anyone. I’d be curious why you care so much about who this celebrity endorses. I’m guessing it has more to do with who they endorse than their lack of political background.

            That’s because it’s convenient and comfortable.

            I don’t care what people choose. I only care about the comprehensiveness and quality of their facts and reason.

            You’re asking more questions in this thread than anyone.

            Isn’t it meritable to ask questions?

      Probably because they feel aligned with her values and see her success as an indicator that she is smart. Therefore, she is someone worth emulating.

        Does the rich singer and dancer represent her values honestly, is it marketing, or is there some of both? Is it wise to assign her perspective value?
