Just days away from Election Day, many women have on TikTok have hinted that they’re voting for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, while their parents are voting for Republican nominee Donald Trump. As part of the trend, each video shows social media users with a piece of paper in hand as they leave their houses to go vote.
"POV, [on my way] to cancel out my Trump-loving husband’s vote in a swing state,” she said, along with a blue heart emoji and an American flag emoji.
I agree, but it should also be something people do because they care about doing the right thing and value democracy, irrespective of what social media tells them to do.
I agree that people should care about politics, but I don’t expect the average person to give a shit about most things lol.
Yeah but it’s easy to see how they look at their parents who - seemingly - “value democracy” with their voting and yelling and campaigning, and what damage that causes. This causes a general dejection with politics and civil structures as a whole, and hence a disinterest in engaging with it at all.
