Kelly Clarkson: I'm a fan of Hillary. She's badass. I don't want just a woman to win...

[onehandle]

...I want the right person. And I think she's also that.

'Back at you, @kelly_clarkson. - Hillary Clinton'

1. Prepare to be patronized.../NT

[NYC_SKP]

2. Who is Kelly Clarkson? Is she another rich rapper or entertainer person?

These Tweets, they kill me!

[Art_from_Ark]

4. Yes, she's another entertainer person

We're supposed to be impressed with celebrity endorsements of Hillary, or something.

[lovemydog]

11. I think Bernie will get some.

Lupe Fiasco, Immortal Technique, Susan Sarandon (perennial endorser, lol), James Franco. Just trying to think of some folks who would endorse Bernie. And hey Ben & Jerry!

[lovemydog]

8. She's a popular singer.

Come on NYC_SKP. Get with it! Watch the damn video. It will make you stronger.

[NYC_SKP]

10. Oh I know that song! Cool. Here's one back at ya!

I have no idea who Nicki Minaj supports, however.

[lovemydog]

13. Oh thanks. I love Nicki Minaj.

I think we need to go and shop around for Bernie endorsements. You cover the east, I'll cover the west.

[NYC_SKP]

15. Stephen Hawking's and Elon Musk's endorsements just don't have the same zing.

Not that they've spoken up yet, it's just that as intelligent people you would expect them to know better.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

36. I'm wondering what's supporting *her.*

[m-lekktor]

12. she won the first season of American Idol. nt

[Cha]

17. She's an American citizen who has an opinion on who she wants for President.

[pnwmom]

18. She's someone many millions more Americans know and like than Bernie Sanders.

It's that name recognition thing.

[MaggieD]

24. Good point!

[Thinkingabout]

3. Hillary would also be qualified if she was a he. Just kidding, she is qualified.

[MaggieD]

25. LOL!

Okay, that was a good one. Thanks.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

5. Wasn't she a Ron Paul supporter in 2012?

I'm not being snarky, seriously, she was. I just get the feeling her political assessments are pretty shallow.

[MaggieD]

27. She grew out of it

Lots of young people go through that Ayn Rand libertarian phase. Then they grow up.

[Exilednight]

41. Yes she was, and more than likely still is, but Ron Paul isn't

Running this time around.

I seriously view this as just jumping on the bandwagon.

She took a lot of grief over her Paul endorsement, and this is her way of attempting to make amends.

[djean111]

6. Kelly also wanted Ron Paul to win the GOP nomination in 2012 so she could vote for him.

Kelly does have an amazing voice.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. Has Justin issued a statement yet?

[lovemydog]

9. He's a Belieber

in staying out of US politics.

[Bonobo]

14. Yes, but I generally don't make "badass" my priority in a presidential candidate.

Opinions may differ.

Some would prefer "trustworthiness" or "courage of convictions" as more important personality traits.

[MaggieD]

23. You should....

Love Obama but he wasted a lot of time in his naive belief the rethugs would compromise with him.

[Bonobo]

26. I sure as fucking hell agree with that.

But Obama was also presented as a badass, remember the whole kicking' in the door thing?

For me, a badass is someone who can speak anytime to anyone and remain consistent without having to first calculate the impact on demographics, etc.

[MaggieD]

29. Well I knew that was BS

In fact I posted it here plenty back in 2008. No one would listen.

Anyway, nice to know we agree on one thing.

[Bonobo]

32. My guess is we agree on lots of stuff, MaggieD

I'd prefer not to be web-enemies.

[MaggieD]

33. :)

We probably do.

[Dawson Leery]

16. What does her self centered fascist loving mommy in law think of this?

[okaawhatever]

34. Let's hope she can convert her mom-in-law. I think Narville just had a stroke or something so Reba

is probably preoccupied.

[YOHABLO]

19. I mean really, people don't know who Kelly Clarkson is? Get with the times folks.

Well I guess that about wraps it up then, first Snoop Dog and now Kelly Clarkson. Hillary wins. Right.

[JaneyVee]

37. You forgot Katy Perry, Beyonce, and Liv Tyler.

They've endorsed also..

[Iliyah]

20. K & R

WOW the attacks on anyone who is for HRC.

[Unknown Beatle]

21. Well, that does it then,

if Kelly Clarkson is for Hillary then I'm for Hil...wait, what!? Who's Kelly Clarkson?

Bernie For President.

[MaggieD]

22. Nice

[KMOD]

28. She echoes the thoughts of many.

especially in the youth vote.

[workinclasszero]

30. Go Kelly!

Go Hillary!!

[PeteSelman]

31. Who's High Pitch?

https://m.

This is the only reason I know who Clarkson is.

[okaawhatever]

35. Here's the ultimate Clarkson/Hillary campaign song:

Miss Independent
Miss self sufficient
Miss keep your distance

Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man interfere, nooo

Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne

[deutsey]

38. Man, I'm really getting old

I have no idea who this person is, even after looking her up. lol

Glad to see she apparently has more political sense than Britney Spears and her support of Bush.

[HereSince1628]

40. I think she's one of America's past superstars...

I would assume that when she goes in for bandwagon-ing she has some understanding of what a band is.

[deutsey]

42. I usually at least have a peripheral awareness of mainstream performers

But I guess as I get older the more I focus on those that really resonate with me and tune out the rest.

It looks as though Kelly is from American Idol, which I've never watched.

She apparently liked Ron Paul there for a while, until his old racist/homophobic views were exposed. To her credit, she dropped him. She apparently voted for Obama and couldn't support Romney because of his views on gay marriage.

Political views[edit]
On December 29, 2011, Clarkson posted on Twitter that she would vote for US Congressman Ron Paul as a 2012 presidential candidate, saying, "I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last Republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican Party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't."[152] After stating her support for Paul, she came under fire on Twitter, due to the controversy over racist and homophobic newsletters that were sent out under Paul's name in the 1980.[153] She later apologized for the tweet, saying she did not intend to offend anyone.[153] In 2012, Clarkson stated she would, again, vote for President Barack Obama. Clarkson stated, "I can't support Romney's policies as I have a lot of gay friends and I don't think it's fair they can't get married." She also cited women's rights issues by saying, "I'm not a hardcore feminist, but we can't be going back to the '50s."[153]

I may have heard about this during the election, but it didn't stick because, again, I'm not really aware of who she is.

[WinkyDink]

39. I love the "I'm a better person than those who know who she is" posts.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

43. I wonder if they realize how patronizing they are ...

I wonder if they realize how patronizing they are and how they feed into the narrative that liberals are elitists that think they are better than everybody else and how they know what's best for them.


It's evident when you post polls that 80% of Democrats have favorable opinions of BHO and HRC and their detractors reply that's because they aren't as informed (smart) as those who oppose them.


I don't like labels but it's laughable when folks use liberal and populist as synonyms. Populists believe wisdom and power reside in and derive from the people, liberals believe wisdom and power resides in and derives from them



BTW, I said this thread would become a patronizing party in the first post and I was right.

[LondonReign2]

44. Snoop Dog AND Kelly Clarkson?

Game over, man, game over.
