Do you believe that post is true?

Does anyone else believe it is true?

Because I'm pretty sure it is not.

We need an evillawyer counter balance.....and it would have a much higher probability of being true.

I’m more in the “who cares?” bucket. If I’m a Dem voter who donated to Harris it’s up to her to run the campaign how she sees fit. If that includes paying entertainment at a rally so be it.

It will easily be disproven or proven once all of the campaign finance reports are filed. They’re public record.

It’s stupid anyway. Celebs often get paid for their time. I know of a local Knoxvillian who had a couple celebs at a certain party this year. These celebs are friends of this person’s and they still got paid for coming.

Posts Make Unfounded Claim About Beyoncé's Endorsement of Harris - FactCheck.org

Singer-songwriter Beyoncé endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president at a campaign rally in Houston on Oct. 25. Social media posts have made the unfounded claim that Beyoncé was paid $10 million for the endorsement. We found no evidence to support the claim, and a Harris campaign...

No evidence Beyoncé was paid to endorse Kamala Harris

Beyoncé has long sung about "Bills, Bills, Bills," and now claims are circulating on social media that she was paid $10

Keep in mind that it could be true that "Beyonce was not paid $10 million" for that appearance / endorsement while it is also simultaneously true that "Beyonce WILL BE paid $10 million" for that appearance / endorsement. Remember that Kamala is supposedly trying to raise $20 million to pay for unpaid campaign expenditures.

The "sources" that posted the Beyonce stuff have a history of struggling with the truth. If it turns out to be false, I hope some will stop slurping everything those posters put out there....

Good point because we all know the Harris/Walz Campaign was the pinnacle of truthfulness.

What does that even mean? Trump won Wisconsin by slightly less than 30,000 votes.

I think they are referencing where both the blue and red lines jump straight up near the plateau. the blue line jumps about 3x what the red line does in that one case.

they just ignore the rest of the chart that shows Trump with a similar vertical section without corresponding Democrat vertical section around the 1,400,000 mark. and that Trumps red line jumps at the same time the blue line does, so its not like Trump didn't get any votes at that time. it just shows towards the end they were doing bigger "drops" instead of consistent "drops" that result in more of a curve.

The jump was when Milwaukee, a historically 66-70% D area, released their results that shows the Ds got 67-68% of the votes....

it also bothers me that the chart doesn't actually show the X axis, or what is actually being tracked. so there is literally zero context given about why this COULD upset anyone.

it is a vertical line, so a single point of time..looks likeabout 100K drop for Dems with like 1/6 of that for Repubs.

that said, dont know if it is accurate.

is it? thats an assumption, because nothing is shown for the X axis. that could 100% be an arbitrary line, that could be votes over beer consumption per inning of baseball watched. it could be votes per 1000 counted. it could be votes per Honda accords.

they are literally giving you half the information and hoping you make an assumption that pisses you off. no honest statistician is going to present a chart without the X axis filled in. given that its obviously a political take designed to make you angry, and you don't have enough information to even know if you actually should be angry.
