Endorsements.

When elected officials do terrible stuff — and they seem to be doing a lot of terrible stuff these days — it’s frustrating to see people who could stand up to those elected officials stay silent. I mean, I can say it’s bad when states basically outlaw D.E.I. programs, but I’m just a guy with a blog. I’d like to see business leaders and university presidents standing up against bad policy.

So it’s nice to see Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish both endorse Kamala Harris for president. I suspect a lot of people in the entertainment industry are loathe to make political endorsements because they don’t want to turn off any potential fans/customers who might disagree. But Swift and Eilish are obviously more concerned with the U.S.’s future than they are with hurting the feelings of Republican music fans. Good on them.

And even though I am just a guy with a blog, I’m endorsing Harris, too. She’s obviously the best choice when it comes to the issues I care most about, issues like reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and voting rights. If you’re eligible to vote in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, I hope you vote for Kamala Harris.
