She referred to the Democratic Party as "The Left" which makes it pretty hard to take any political commentary from her too seriously.

She dumbed it down for the masses since most people think "the left" means Democrats.
That's a valid interpretation although not an objective one or one I share given the rest of her delivery and vague discussion of "policies" .
People literally thought she was a Trump supporter cause she didn't wanna endorse kamala.. She really had to dumb it down
I'm aware of the context. I still disagree. This is a person who's been struggling because of the impact of fame on her personal life and been begging to be treated like a regular person and I think putting her on a pedestal by assuming she's a political expert or pundit isn't honoring that. She gave her answer. That's all.
You can make music without the intent of being famous. I think the people with the issue are the ones putting her on a pedestal .
Your first sentence is true but not really relevant to this thread. As another commenter pointed out, it’s possible she doesn’t have the most articulated politics. To expect or assume otherwise is to put her on a pedestal.
You brought up fame. And the expectation put on her is a consequence of that fame. But hey I forgot you're the arbiter of what is and isn't allowed in a thread.
I brought up fame to reassert her desire to be just like everyone else which I believe you misunderstood. Please don’t lash out and make this personal when this is a place for open discussion. I have heard your opinion and I disagree. I am not saying what is allowed, that’s a moderator’s job, so much as asking for a clear discussion on the topic brought up. No need to further it by throwing insults back and forth
It’s completely plausible that a singer is not that politically educated.
Just because they are famous doesn’t mean they are across all issues.
