omg I want to take her phone away (for her own health and sanity)

I feel real bad that she's getting this brunt of pushback and I feel bad that she feels that she has to address it all

[duchello]

like guys we've lost the plot, why are we pushing for geopolitical solutions from Chappell Roan!!!!!???

I don't think it's so much like that, it's more because she made the mistake of saying "both sides are problematic" cause that's usually code for voting republican which is what started this mess. Doesn't help that she had mentioned leaving politics at the door when visiting her conservative family.

She should've just said I'm voting for Kamala but I'm not exactly relieved by it because I have xyz issues and then if she wanted she could've linked orgs for funds of said issues. That would've cut down a good chunk of time and energy.

I mean but really what's the point? It feels like we're asking her to show us her ballot on voting day. If you follow chappell enough to nitpick her words, you should also be able to follow her actions which have been uplifting drag performers, uplifting queer folks, supporting palestinian rights with her money, actual work that we on the daily here talk about putting your money where your mouth is. She declined a white house attendance and participated in pride celebrations in more meaningful ways.

She obviously is making a tangible impact with her actions. Is the answer to just harrass her until she words things in exactly the way ONTD expects her to?

Listen I get it, the "both sides" argument is used too often in hurtful ways to hide your politics. But I think it's somewhat obvious that;s not what's going on here.

Not her but a lot of celebs will support social causes but still vote republican so I can't blame people. Plus since she's pretty vocal on everything, it is kinda odd to not state the candidate. Like I said in another comment she could've saved time by saying that while she's voting for Kamala, she doesn't agree with every single stance and put up a link on info or to collect funds to ease her conscience.

Unfortunately celebrity endorsements DO work

I mean she did it to herself. Everyone who's sane is a nervous wreck and this white lady comes prancing in her with her "mmmmm, both sides are bad though" mess.

I think if this was all she said regarding politics I would be much more critical of her directly. But she's put her money behind Palestinian support, and is doing a lot of good work for the visibility of queer people and drag performers that I think her words come from a place of naivete. It's ok to call out how the "both sides" rhetoric is dangerous especially if paired with political apathy/inaction. But idk I think she's stepping up to make in impact in the best way she can. That's why at this point I'm like ok we can't keep going back and forth on this, someone take her phone away!!!

She said she has empathy for her Trump/MAGA parents in article before this. So really, the both side quote/article was what tipped the internet against her. You can do all the good deeds you want to, but finding empathy and supporting and associating with MAGA's will drag you down to basement level in the eyes of the people.
