Ms private jet is performatively liberal at best.
Yeah, but that seems in line with the Democratic party leadership.
Uh what? Since when is Taylor Swift a party leader?
edit: Downvotes don't make her a party leader. What is she then? What seat does she hold in the senate?
What part of the sentence made you think that Taylor Swift is a democratic party leader?
If that's not what you meant, then what part of that sentence is relevant to what I said?
They're saying that the actual Democratic party leaders are equally performative.
...Yeah I got that. Why is it relevant?
... you sure you got that?
Lol, is this the preschool sublemmy?
I can clarify. I am pretty sure it was mentioned to position her outlook in a similar spot on the overton window as the conventional mainstream liberal representatives, so that it is clear that she's aligned with other socially liberal and fiscally colonial oligarchs.
Taylor Swift is shadow majority leader in the Senate, it's all part of the conspiracy yo.
Joking aside, I think what Shepherd meant was that Swift being performatively liberal made her more similar to Democratic party leadership than to any sort of conservatives.
You have an internet connection, so you're performatively liberal at best too. You don't even think about people that can't afford an internet connection, how can you be on the left?
In fact everyone on the internet is performative. That's what everything on here is, someone's performance. You could be Jeff Bezos for all anyone knows.
