Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There was a pandemic era interview of her that was really poignant and insightful. She knows and things about quite a lot. Her Midnights album had a lot of self criticism and reflection, and she's commented a lot more about unfair gender norms.
She also kept a music store in Nashville afloat during the pandemic, and she's really generous about health insurance and bonuses. Her truckers for her tour got $100k in just bonuses.
I'm a fan. I think as far as billionaires go, she's achieved it in the only ethical manner possible. Being a global music sensation is pretty much the only way to do so -- if she has even just 100,000,000 fans globally, each just needs to spend $10 for her to make a billion. And honestly, I don't think that fan number is that off.
Sure, she makes and made mistakes. She's human. But all in all, I quite like her. I'm biased certainly, I grew up listening to her music. I listened to it a lot through a lot of loneliness, and at some of my lowest points, I was listening to "this is me trying" daily (and "beautiful" by Eminem, an odd pair to be sure).
I'm a 29 year old man and I'm happy to call myself a Swiftie haha
I give her props for writing her own songs in an age where everyone on the radio uses the same five ghostwriters.
Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed reading your take on Swift. Thanks for sharing. ☺️
