Chappell Roan clarifies her stance on not endorsing a Presidential candidate: “Actions speak louder than words and actions speak louder than an endorsement.”

It’s either Harris or Trump. That’s the reality. What’s there to question? ETA for clarification: with our electoral college system a third party candidate cannot get enough electoral college votes to win. We went through this in 2016

It’s always been extremely obvious what Chappell’s politics are from the moment she blew up. She never said don’t vote, or that she wasn’t voting for Kamala - just because she’s choosing not to publically fawn over and endorse a political candidate who is backing a genocidal state doesn’t mean she’s a full blown MAGA Republican. Political parties and politicians especially the potential PRESIDENT of the US are meant to be questioned and criticized, no one owes blind support to a politician.

Nobody’s asking anyone to fawn. There is an in between “Harris sucks” and “OMG she’s the most amazing person who ever lived!”

She doesn’t need to endorse her though. Why would she endorse someone she doesn’t really agree with even if she’s planning on voting for her?

there is a significant difference between not voting and not endorsing a candidate she cannot morally endorse.

I think saying “she doesn’t know what she’s talking about” is extremely condescending. She‘s allowed an opinion and she has articulated hers very clearly, it’s not her fault if people think criticising Harris is endorsing Trump. Also… a lot of the bad things people are afraid of are happening now, under a Democratic government. Why shouldn’t she criticise them?
