Tokyo Rose 1,475 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 For someone who has shown herself to be desperately invested in politics, Gaga was surprisingly silent about the events of and leading up to the Presidential primaries, and I'm wondering why this was so. Post-election, the most outspoken progressives have come out AGAINST the nomination being awarded to Clinton over Sanders, and quite a few have cited that event as a major factor in Donald Trump being elected. I hope someone asks her about the primaries eventually, since we've heard little or no word at all from her on this subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 141,606 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Isn't she personal friends with the Clintons? I feel like that'd be awkward to not support your friend when they're running for president I'm sure she didn't dislike Bernie, she just resonated with Hillary more and was probably pretty stoked at the idea of the first woman president.

13VictorC 1,071 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Gaga was busy scrapping LG5 and creating Joanne. Like most of us, I think Gaga believed that a democratic win was easy. Choosing either of the candidates (who hold similar views) would not be crucial. But it turned out to be just a perfect illusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Probably because Hillary was the Senator of her state when she was in high school and college/young adulthood. Gaga saw what type of politician Hillary was during 9-11 and the years after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Slay 10,996 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The leading theory in popularity is that because Hillary is a women. Since Gaga never went into policy, we will never know for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, Hillary was Gaga's Senator during a life-altering tragedy in her city...one that Hillary was vey much involved in. Gaga was familiar with Hillary and was a supporter of the Clintons, before she ever ran for President. Ignoring all of this and jumping to "they both have vaginas" is downright disrespectful and sexist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,111 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 What? She and Tony performed at a Clinton campaign fundraiser back in summer of 2015 (that's where's that pic of her & Hilary posing with that Yasss Hilary shirt came from), so she's made it known she was pro-Hilary from the start of her run.

I don't take a stance on why she did because she never said or even hinted at a reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
