i’m just disappointed with the democratic national convention. giving the time of day to people like billie eilish is exactly the reason trump was elected in the first place. politics are a joke now it’s all just about advertising

I’m an old person now, so I had never heard Billie Eilish sing before tonight. She has a really really powerful singing voice.

Billie Eillish telling 18-year-old girls that Donald Trump is awful is more productive than most anything any of the other celebs have up their sleeves tbh.

I like Billie Eilish but having a teen come on and trash Trump is unnecessary and actually detracts from the real criticism by adult leaders.
