Kanye West Enrages Twitter After Revealing Ballot Write-Ins

This has been an incredibly weird year for a myriad of reasons. Perhaps one of the more bizarre stories this year is the fact that Kanye West decided to run for President of the United States. Ye has been very serious about his campaign, even if it hasn’t resulted in many rallies. Regardless, West continues to tout his political aspirations and has been attempting to get on every ballot in the country, ahead of the November 3rd Presidential election. Unfortunately for the artist, West has been left off of a handful of state ballots, meaning his chances of winning anything are incredibly low.

Despite this, some eager fans and friends have been writing in Kanye’s name on the ballot. While taking to Twitter, Kanye even showed off one of these ballots, which clearly says Kanye West written in pen, at the bottom. Needless to say, nothing is stopping Kanye supporters from casting a vote for him.

While Kanye was happy about this development, many political enthusiasts were upset with the ordeal. In the eyes of many voters, a vote for Kanye is helping Donald Trump siphon voters away from Joe Biden. This is an election with big consequences for the country, with many feeling as though Kanye is more of a “useful idiot” for the Trump campaign, than a viable Presidential candidate. For instance, one Twitter user said “voting for kanye is like walking up to a roulette table and betting on blue,” while another said “Seriously unfollow me if you’re going to waste your vote on Kanye bc you think it’ll be “funny”. You’re an idiot and don’t even deserve the fucken privilege. Ppls entire livelihoods are at stake and you want to vote for another dumbass?? Fuck outta here.”

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
