Billie Eilish endorses Harris: ‘Vote like your life depends on it’ - eviltoast

Billie Eilish is the latest high-profile entertainer to back Vice President Harris’s White House bid, urging her fans to “vote like your life depends on it.”

“We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy,” Eilish said in a video posted on social media on Tuesday.

“We can’t let extremists control our lives, our freedoms and our future,” Eilish’s brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas O’Connell, said in the message shared with the “Lunch” singer’s more than 7 million followers on X.

“The choice is clear,” the post said.

        Taylor’s post, while i feel was well crafted, didn’t say that anyone else should vote for Harris explicitly, but rather encouraging them to research their options and vote. That’s different than “vote for Harris like your life depends on it”.

        Wasn’t saying that at all. I’m not playing favorites, and as a Sad Dad of The National, I actually listen to more Swift. I think Swift’s post about voting for Harris was well presented, but my point was it wasn’t an endorsement.

        Noone looked at my comment history I guess. Lol. That’s fine. I’ve been commenting on how Swift didn’t really endorse Harris, and just stated how she was voting and that people should research and vote. I am not even down on Swift. I think her post-debate message was well done. Just making a comment of the contrast and what a real endorsement is.
