“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.

“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.

    Who?

    You need name recognition to win.

      You didn’t hear about the Georgia runoffs?

      You didn’t hear about the Senator who raised more money for a campaign than any other Senator in US history?

      One of the handful that Gen Z voters not only know but genuinely support and follow?

      The youngest Dem Senator since Joe Biden’s first term?

      Mate, just because you don’t recognize a name, doesn’t mean no one does.

      And it should be common sense that we should go with a name that non-voters know. Because they’re the votes we need. We’re talking about politics on social media, we’re both voting anyways.

      So yeah, name recognition is important, but we’re not the demographic Dems need to focus on, so it doesn’t matter if we recognize the name. We’re voting D regardless
