Sadly...14 year old girls can't vote 🤷‍♂

@BizSuitStacy But the 18 year olds can. Out of 270M I'll bet there are a few.

@MoveAlong nobody that age listens to TS

@BizSuitStacy Vote.gov begs to differ.

@BizSuitStacy While 45 per cent of Swift's US fans are millennials — like the 34-year-old herself — 21 per cent are Gen X and 25 per cent are Boomers, according to a 2023 survey. That means nearly half of her millions of fans are likely over 45. Middle-aged Swifties aren't shy about their adoration.

Greta Thunberg couldn't vote when she first became politically active . . yet seems to have had considerable influence on both sides of the Atlantic, not least on middle-aged male conservatives easily given to irrational fits of apoplexy 🤣

@BizSuitStacy her 15 minutes are up apparently.

@joe438 sure looks that way, though I am curious how a high school drop out with zero marketable skills has a net worth exceeding $1 million. She supposedly donates all of the "prize money" she receives from climate panhandling to charitable causes. 🙄

joe438 · 61-69, M

@BizSuitStacy She’s obviously well paid for her political grandstanding. Kudos to her if she actually donates it.

BizSuitStacy · M

@joe438 she's not donating all of it 😏

joe438 · 61-69, M

@BizSuitStacy No, I know that. She has billions herself. She had made it cleat that she gives people 100K fir stuff if they need it AND if she can get press coverage for doing it. Again, I give her kudos for sharing even if it's for publicity.
