Bruce Springsteen's Call to Action: Endorsing Harris, Criticizing Trump

[Social Media]

 

Bruce Springsteen, known as "The Boss" for his influential role in American rock music, has thrown his support behind the 2024 Democratic ticket, offering an impassioned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. In a video shared on Instagram, Springsteen, who is 75, expressed the importance of the upcoming election, which he described as “one of the most consequential elections in our nation’s history.”

The video, lasting around three minutes, shows Springsteen in a cozy, New Jersey-style diner, clad in a plaid flannel jacket—a familiar look for the iconic musician. In his message, he showered praise on Harris and Walz while simultaneously delivering sharp criticism of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential race. Springsteen did not hold back, saying, "Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime." He highlighted concerns that Trump’s approach to governance endangers core democratic principles. “His disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from holding the office of president ever again,” Springsteen added, echoing concerns shared by many liberal commentators.

 

Springsteen also took a moment to reflect on the current state of division in the country, lamenting the deep fractures in American society. He pointed out that America is more "politically, spiritually and emotionally divided" now than at any other time since the Civil War. Despite the grim tone, Springsteen offered a note of hope, saying, "It doesn’t have to be this way," suggesting a more unified future is possible.

 

In the video, Springsteen enumerated what he believes are the fundamental values that "make America great." Beyond its military and economic power, Springsteen highlighted qualities like "freedom, social justice, equal opportunity, and the right to be and love who you want" as the true pillars of American greatness.

 

A consistent supporter of Democratic candidates over the years, Springsteen’s endorsement was not unexpected. He has previously backed John Kerry, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden, always standing firmly in the corner of the Democratic Party. Now, as the 2024 election looms, Springsteen has once again made his political leanings clear by endorsing Harris and Walz. "Everybody sees things different and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen. But like you, I’ve only got one vote. And it’s one of the most precious possessions that I have," Springsteen remarked, emphasizing the personal significance of his vote. He concluded by saying, "That’s why come Nov. 5, I’ll be casting it for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz."

 

Interestingly, the friction between Springsteen and Trump is not new. On the campaign trail, Trump has made it clear that he is "not a huge fan" of Springsteen. In a speech delivered in Atlanta in August, Trump noted that he only tends to like people who like him, acknowledging, “I have a bad trait” in reference to the mutual lack of admiration between the two. Despite this, Springsteen remains undeterred, using his platform to rally his fans and fellow citizens to action, urging them to vote in a crucial election that could shape the future of the nation.

I salute THE BOSS for supporting the only common sense choice, just as other celebrities have. More celebrities will speak out over the next critical 30 days and help build the BLUE WAVE that is coming.

Kid

metalish-rap-rocker-turned-country-music-grifter has been seen with the two-time popular vote loser. In fact, Rock performed at the end of the 2024 Republican National Convention (because, honestly, who else was going to do it?) and Trump appeared in a video announcement at the beginning of some Kid Rock shows in 2022. Oh, and there’s the time that Kid Rock claimed that Donald Trump asked him for advice about North Korea and ISIS, which is both idiotic and 100% believable.

Bruce Springsteen is not retired.

 

The way political campaigns operate, they try to win a day. Enough such wins, and their numbers go up, and they win the campaign.

 

Trump hasn't won a day in a couple of months.

 

BTW, Magic Johnson endorsed Kamala Harris today. You have probably never heard of him.

Based on the polls today, Harris wins Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and that's the ball game.

 

Bruce Springsteen helps with Pennsylvania.

During Trump’s first year in office, motor vehicle and parts manufacturing employment in the U.S. declined from 788,900 to 783,200 in November 2017, and GM had a net loss of 3,500 hourly manufacturing jobs in 2017.

I've heard the Trump campaign say "Pennsylvania is a must win?. Oh well. so much for that idea!

Can't fire The Boss.

 

Bruce has always been a man of the people. A real NJ mensch.
