Michelle Obama trots out drag queens, Cardi B to boost voter turnout
Is this supposed to appeal to moderates?
True to form for the current state of the Democratic Party, an organization founded by former First Lady Michelle Obama is using drag queens and a Cardi B concert sweepstakes to try to boost voter turnout in swing states.
When We All Vote (WWAV) is holding hundreds of “Party at the Polls” events in key swing states leading up to Election Day, aiming to turn “early voting into a celebration and brings communities together to cast their ballots early,” as the group said in a press release last week.
One of these events in Arizona recently featured performances by “Drag Out the Vote,” a group which is dedicated to encouraging LGBT people to hit the polls.
Other WWAV events will feature alum from RuPaul’s “Drag Race” and “Miss Gay Southern America,” drag performer “Barbara Seville.”
Last week, WWAV announced that registered voters and group volunteers can enter to win a sweepstakes to see rapper CardiB at a music festival in Atlanta later this year as well as $1,200 travel credit to attend the concert.
“With early voting happening right now — it’s important that folks make a plan to vote by Election Day,” Michelle Obama recently wrote on social media, as The Christian Post reported.
“The election doesn’t start on Election Day — it ends on Election Day,” a press release from WWAV Executive Director Beth Lynk stated last week. “Mrs. Obama, our co-chairs and ambassadors, and voters will all come together at this rally to celebrate [key swing state] Georgia.”
"Together, we will take our momentum and energy to the ballot box and set the tone for the entire country — especially first-time voters — to vote early," she also stated.
Do Democrats realize what swing voters care about? It seems incredibly unlikely, if they’re plying for votes using drag queens and notoriously vulgar rappers.
Americans are struggling to feed their families, find jobs, and recover from multiple devastating storms. For years the left has hammered away at identity politics and it’s only made us more divided, more unstable as a country, and more immoral as a country.
You’d think by 2024 they might have a different strategy but no…it’s just more of the same.
I guess when you are a fake you need fake to support you.
Sometimes I wonder if this all they focus on and nothing else when it comes to elections. I mean. Do they care about having enough money to eat? We all need to eat (I think!)
