Summary

Ahead of the 2024 election, Generation Z has sparked a trend on TikTok, “canceling out” family members’ votes by voting opposite their Trump-supporting relatives. Many young women post videos showing them voting for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, contrasting with family members supporting Republican nominee Donald Trump.

While some videos are lighthearted, others reveal deeper tensions, as participants highlight personal stakes in defending rights and choices.

Although Gen Z voters lean slightly toward Harris, a significant portion supports Trump, creating a divided landscape. With over 47 million early votes cast, polls show a tight race, especially in key swing states.

    I have been a Liberal since I was 12 years old. I have never voted conservative in 30 years of federal elections. But with Trudeau refusing to step down I have no choice but to vote conservative. The backbenchers know they’re not going to get re-elected with him in charge and that’s why most of them have been relegated to the back benches. He’s surrounded himself with sycophant MPs, and is delusional enough to think the majority of the country is happy with him.

    I’m willing to let Skippy axe the carbon tax and hopefully make living in this country affordable again. Ontario generally elects a provincial party that is in opposition, provincial liberals will get in and reintroduce cap & trade which will save us when the next liberal government is elected and tries to save the world again.

      When we’re voting on abortion again, I hope the women in your life have a chat with you about how your vote effected them.
