I might have, because I have Taylor Swift playing in my head ALL THE TIME

Just because of that

I was saying, yeah sure, Kamala

Because of Taylor Swift

And Sandberg

Kamala Harris, Taylor Swift and Changing Political Preferences

I █████ the ████ out of Kamala

But when Taylor Swift said she's voting for Kamala

I was like

Sure

I think my mom, was voting for Sajith, Ranil and ██████████ Dilith

So I was also going to too

When I looked for Dilith's symbol on the list

I saw "Commie Party of SL"

I suddenly didn't want to vote for Anura too

Blaming communism for all our problems
