Lizzo, also known as our bad bitch-in-chief, wants you to keep focused on the things that matter this (endless) election season, and according to her, age ainβt one of those things.
In a series of now-deleted tweets from Saturday, the βJuiceβ singer (per the Huffington Post) wrote:

βI hear a lot of about Bernie Sanders being βtoo oldβ to run or be president... but weβve currently got a 73-year old in office so drop the ageism shit and just listen to what heβs got to say.β
Okay, points were made. HOWEVER. Lizzo made clear the tweet defending Sanders wasnβt an endorsement.
Absolutely @ewarren is a dope candidate as well Iβm just sayin we worried bout the wrong things letβs just listen to the policies and stop talkin bout the shit that donβt matter ya know
Listen to the policies, Lizzo? In this economy??
At any rate, weβre not sure why Lizzo deleted those tweets, but she did keep up one political message about the importance of civic responsibility.
βThe first President I could ever vote for was Obama. I was so proud of my right to vote and I will never take it for granted. I love us,β she wrote, adding, βIβm not sure who Iβm voting for yet, but it for damn sure isnβt Trump.β
Not long after she posted the tweet, Barack Obama dropped his and Michelleβs summer 2019 playlist, which featured none other than Lizzo (because, I mean, obviously). She shared the honor with Lil Nas X, BeyoncΓ© and BeyoncΓ©βs husband, Stevie Wonder, Goldlink, and 2 Chainz.
Now, is DJ Khaled or Mac Miller on Sandersβ or Joe Bidenβs personal playlists? I donβt know and frankly, donβt care. I just know if youβre not listening to Lizzo in 2019, you shouldnβt be trusted with an aux cord, let alone my vote.
