Kim Kardashian says she is neither a Republican nor a Democrat

[Teletubby 145,607]

Kim said she is neither a Republican nor a Democrat: I believe in the rights that the Democrats want, but I believe in the taxes that the Republicans want. I’m a mix of both.

Kardashian said she has no plans to run for public office: "I understand the responsibility, and it’s an extremely hard job, and I don't know if I’d ever want that. "

Kim about favorite Taylor Swift song: "I really like a lot of her songs. They’re all super cute and catchy. I’d have to look in my phone to get a name."

Kim said she now regrets trying to force Kanye West to take off his MAGA hat during a 2018 appearance on Saturday Night Live
I was very nervous. I didn’t want him to wear the red hat. I’m not really a rule breaker, so my personality would be like, “OK, you guys don’t like the red hat? I’ll take it off.’” I remember other people were around and it became a thing where he wasn’t going to go on because he wanted to be who he is. I’m very neutral, but that night I was very forceful with him, and argued with him like, “You have to take that hat off.” And now looking back, I think, why should he take that off if that’s what he believes in? Why can’t he wear that on TV? Half of the country voted for him, so clearly other people like him.
I learned a lot from that situation. No matter what, it taught me to be a little bit more empathetic for people that just want to do what they want to do: freedom of speech! And if you want to wear the hat, wear the hat. I respect the fact that he knew exactly what he believed in and always stood by that. To me, that’s a good quality to have, no matter who is against you and no matter what the circumstances are. I think that it’s just admirable and it’s just a really cool quality. Even if it’s not what I agree with, or even if I would have done it differently, I think it’s commendable.

Good on her  I love being an unaffiliated voter because I don't feel forced into one box. I've voted for both Republicans and Democrats in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

Kim and I would make the perfect libertarian power couple

Like probably most people. Two-party systems are so weird imo.

She sounds resonable and tame, still I expect the woke crowd on Twitter to lynch her. Extememism hates moderation and resonability.

Oh what a surprise, a rich person doesn't want to pay taxes 

[John Wayne 4,471]

Why would they ask her what her favorite Taylor song is in a politic-centered interview

[Runway 27,876]

So she’s a republican. Noted

[vanna shintuyu 10,496]

It's that same BS "socially liberal and fiscally conservative" notion that's been popular with rich people for decades. They just want to protect their assets but don't want to commit to saying they'll vote Republican. It's a fallacy. It's not even a "conservative" party anymore. It's just a platform that's against anyone in this country who is non-rich, non-white, non-hetero, etc.

Not for many Americans. They will vote straight party ticket regardless of whether or not their candidate is fit for the job. Case in point: a Republican candidate running for my school board who out right said he had no interest in education was elected over the incumbent who had 20 years experience in the field...all because he was Republican.

I hate that!!!! Seems like parties are about labels, like a cult or religion that u follow blindly in the US, thats why there are debates about rep vs democrat for everything it seems. Oh, you say that bcs ur a republican...like accusatory tones. The US needs to change the electoral system and allow other parties to shine!!!!! I love how I'm able to vote center, left, extreme left, right, extreme right, but hey it's not over, there's communist party, independent parties (how Macron won with his own party), ecology party, another right wing party but that's different from the right, there are countless choices, if someone says "im voting right" u cant know what they mean, they r different types or right wing parties, they all differ a little bit, same for left, and even center, U got Macron but also u have center left, center right, center moderate, etc. You pick and choose, and new politicians can come and emerge and bloom and win and become president! Not just democrat vs republican. Thats how it should be

I read this as librarian and got very confused 

 

OT: tbh the whole party system needs to be dismantled.

I can accept people not having access to clean water, people going bankrupt because of one (1) medical bill, kids not eating lunch at school...

but if you tax my hundreds of millions of dollars even 1% more, I WILL send more money into tax havens.
