泰勒丝说
过去自己一直很不愿意分享政治观点
但如今改变心意了
她原本和过去一样
很愿意把票投给现任女性公职人员 让她们连任
但她家乡田纳西州 现任共和党议员布莱克本的国会投票纪录吓死她了
呼吁把票投给她的民主党竞争对手
“布莱克本投票反对女性平等薪资
也投票反对‘反妇女暴力再授权法案’
而这法案是要保护妇女免于家暴、跟踪与约会强暴。”
“布莱克本相信企业有权拒绝为同性伴侣服务，
她也相信同性伴侣无权结婚。”
“这不是我的田纳西价值”
泰勒丝呼吁粉丝去登记投票
“请大家针对在你们的州参选的候选人做功课
根据谁最能代表你的价值观投下选票”
“我们很多人可能一辈子也找不到一个候选人或政党，
和我们对每个议题都百分之百意见一致，
但无论如何，我们必须去投票。”

怎么觉得跟某国的选举有种既视感...
泰勒丝IG原文：
I'm writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th,
in which I'll be voting in the state of Tennessee.
In the past I've been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions,
but due to several events in my life and in the world in the
past two years, I feel very differently about that now.
I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will
protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this
country.
I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of
discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG.
I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards
people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.
I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for
ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.
Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha
Blackburn.
As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women
in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn.
Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me.
She voted against equal pay for women.
She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act,
which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking,
and date rape.
She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples.
She also believes they should not have the right to marry.
These are not MY Tennessee values.
I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of
Representatives.
Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and
vote based on who most closely represents your values.
For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree
100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.
So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the
past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count.
But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do.
October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN.
Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!
