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.
Good thing we have lots of kids, so I as usual cancel out my husband’s vote (if he even bothers this time, R but not enthusiastic about Trump) and all the kids align with me. It may not matter here, with the influx of racist northerners, but who knows?
ETA I have at least one who was not going to vote when it was the two old guys but will vote for Harris.
