How Many Here Vote Based On Endorsements?

[Independent thinker]

There has been a lot of discussions this year regarding endorsements and non-endorsements. How many really vote based on a:

Teamsters endorsement?

A media endorsement?

A Taylor Swift or other celebrity endorsement?

A law enforcement endorsement?

Any kind of endorsement?

Do endorsements really change anyone's votes? Let's take Taylor Swift, for example. Maybe she can help get out the vote and register, but, is anyone doing that really changing their vote from Trump to Harris? In her case she has driven out many people to register (presumably for Harris) BUT she has also taken a personal hit from Trump supporters as well. You could easily argue that she is simultaneously also driving out voters to vote for Trump, even though that wasn't her intention. Does any endorsement really matter?

I was waiting for your endorsement. Time's running out, dude.

Here? Almost nobody.

The disconnected general public that hasn't really been paying attention?

Far more than you would think.

I'll sometimes do it with local races, like judges or city council, etc. Sometimes if I can't decide I'll see who is backing them and usually reveals a lot.

I vote entirely according to an endorsement.

Mine.

Only some kind of weak lemming would vote for someone based on what another person might say, much less a newspaper or (spit) union.

This post was a proven bust.

Remember all the threads that Lakhota started with celebrities endorsing Harris? How much did they help Harris? It looks like the endorsements might have had no influence at all, Swift failed to deliver her home town in a key battleground state. Maybe America is a lot more mature than Democrats. Did Robert DeNiro actually think his endorsement was going to sway anyone?

Narcissistic celebrities I believe thought too highly of themselves. Look at the Clintons, Obamas, Cheneys actually believe they had pull. I told Lakhota that it didn’t matter but she must of thought it did, what a bitch slap lakhota got!

Looks like Americans did exactly that.
