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.
Do they vote for Democrats less than Republicans vote for Democrats? Because the party expends a fuckton of effort on trying to win over Republicans.
To put it in a way Lemmy would understand: who is it easier to convince to try out your favorite distro, an Ubuntu user or someone who’s never used Linux?
And Democrats keep trying to win over hostile Windows users.
