can somebody autotune this and put it to a backdrop of the actual song?

[liquidyou]

Did this really just happen? Shit, that lady has some balls.

What a peculiar approach to a serious issue: signal the low-information voter with a song that appeals to their youth, not their knowledge and reasoning.

the only reason i would like her is because she quoted a song i like. she is still a dumbass democrat

[Villain S. Fiend]

You mean you DO like her, but you can't accept that and run with it because you feel the need to identify yourself as belonging to one party or the other, rather than siding with singular politicians, regardless of affiliation, that best represent you and your interests.
