the first I ever heard of Taylor swift was on pog in 2011. everyone on here was talking about her all the time. if not for that, I probably wouldn't have ever paid attention to her.

no one on pog ever talked about Beyonce as far as I know

I saw her sister perform once but I don't really know who Beyonce is either.

can we get a "filthyvermin reacts to hearing a Beyonce song for the first time" video?

What are peoples thoughts on the current Presidential polls showing Trump consistently in the lead? Trump also seems to be getting a surge of younger voters.

My opinion is the polls are crap and the moderates will not end up voting Trump. Most of the people I interact with seems revolted with him. How could he ever get the numbers?

The only thing that gives me pause is that in the past, Trump overperformed his poll numbers.

I think it's obvious it will be a vaguely close election. Assuming it happened todayish of course.

I'd normally put more stock in betting markets than pools but they aren't amazing for politics. That said something like 60/40 favorite Biden sounds right.

That decision will be aided by Trump, predictably, saying some incredibly stupid and off-putting things.

I can't prove it but I suspect that Trump overperformance is no longer likely, the social effects of saying you might consider voting for him are different than they were in 2016 or even 2020.

Taylor swift could have stopped israeli attacks on Palestine any time. she'd just have to ask her Swifties to go to Palestine with her to be human shields.

she could probably get herself and a million human shields there in a couple days... including lots of other celebs and probably some politicians too
