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.

    working at a community college, i noticed most young people are disinterested in politics because it’s always just been a bunch of crusty old out of touch white men. which, tbh is mostly true. so kids never even bothered

    biden dropping out and kamala taking his place was 1000000% the best thing that could have happened, because now these kids are suddenly paying attention and seeing what a fucking wrong choice trump is

      I’ve noticed the same. When Biden was still in, support for him was of the “grim determination” variety. But as soon as he bowed out, it shifted to practically jubilant support for Harris.

      So glad to see that shift.

          Chronic cynicism and the abhorrent decisions of a madman in a foreign nation thousands of miles away have done a lot obscure it, but I think there is a lot positive things to be said about Biden’s term and political legacy. I think the long rearview on history will look back on Biden with mostly favorable opinion, personally.

            I agree, as bleak as it might sound, Biden’s term was one of the most “progressive” and productive presidential terms in the last 70+ years
