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.
Imagine knowing what Gen Z knows about who Trump really is and watching your parents blindly vote for that.
We are absolutely failing our children to the point where they are inheriting the climate disaster, WW3, and might not even be afforded a democracy to allow them to correct our mistakes. This is their time and i hope they see it.
Gen X’er here and an older one at that.
My two idiot older brothers, one of whom is an Oathbreaker… Keeper…what the fuck ever, are voting for that fucking asshole.
A lot of my fellow classmates of my highschool graduating class are also voting for him. I went to the same school, came from the same town had a lot of the same experiences. How the living ever fuck are they so bamboozled?
It’s absolute insanity and it is not going to end here.
Gen 'Xer here too. Most, if not all of my social circle are voting for Trump too. I am mirroring you in saying that I also shared the same life experience as them. What I’m noticing with all social media which is a major part of all our lives is that its a giant echo camber for both sides. Here on lemmy and reddit (yes I know, but I still check in there) we are all leaning left and denouncing him. Meanwhile on the Meta and Twitter I see everyone clamoring about him bring their savior and how evil and wretched Harris and the libs are. Both sides are surprised how close this race is. I see the media profiting on all this chaos and nonsense. We need to fight to get the media out of the control of all these oligarchs, be-it US or foreign interference centers. I think and hope that more and more people are realizing this and this is going to be the start of class warfare. Sad thing is they got all us have-nots battling each other instead of them. So hard to talk with the cultists and veer them away from the Kool aid going around. It’s sad and it’s going to get dark one way or another.
Anyway preach on and don’t give up.
Gen Z cant vote for someone they want, so they’re left voting against someone else instead.
I don’t know why you’re all celebrating this, it is horrible for democracy and will only lead to further disenfranchising if a generation of new voters arent being represented.
It’s horrible to democracy that someone ks trying to engage with any pieces of it that might be left?
“Just leave it guys, it’s not worth it.”
Fuck off
Literally no one said that, didn’t even say don’t vote for Harris.
Oh well can’t wait for all you right wingers to shut up in a few days time.
Shortsighted little fek, aren’t you?
so will they be represented before Trump wins the election or after the concentration camps?
you’re not going to change my mind on this, I already voted for Harris. I just want to see that dim little light in your head get really bright before it pops when you fully realize that your “3rd party votes can change the world” lies don’t work anymore.
in a perfect democracy, your vote for a 3rd party candidate might make a difference. we are not in a perfect democracy. we are in a broken democracy, where the only option we have is to not become a compete fascist nation.
so will they be represented before Trump wins the election or after the concentration camps?
Does this ever stop? THE GEN Z VOTERS HERE ARE VOTING FOR HARRIS! But nothing, not the truth, not a goddamned thing on this planet will get between a centrist and an opportunity to deliver a sanctimonious lecture about how the slightest disappointment in the system is somehow ushering in Trump again.
And before your lecture reflex kicks in a second time, I already voted for Harris. Not like that will stop you.
at this point in the election complaining about the lack of options is just mental masturbation.
The US voting system is horrible for democracy. A two party system is inevitable the way it works. And with only two parties, it’s inevitable that many aren’t represented.
It doesn’t matter who the candidates are, the system is fucked and needed substantial reform decades ago.The only thing you can do as a voter is not elect the literal fascist maniac and hope for the best.
Last time you didn’t have representation, you fought the British for it.
Send MAGA back to the Stone Age where it belongs.

More matriarchal societies existed in primitive cultures than you’ll likely learn about in grade school.
The misogynist violence is not a consequence of human nature but a legacy of our engineered social system.
Not sure of the current status of her work but books by archaeologist Marija Gimbutas argued that European prehistory was characterized by matriarchy and religious worship of a goddess.
