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.

    The Boomers got the voting age lowered to 18 because they were marching every day.

    People notice action and ignore inaction. Not doing anything has never been a winning strategy.

      Yeah, if you want to be taken seriously vote. Even if it’s just in the primaries. Even if you show up to hsnd in a blank ballot. But they are only looking at the demographics and voting patterns of voters. They may try to get non voters involved but many efforts fail there and they don’t know what the mass of non voters actually want.

      As a millennial who’s never missed a congressional election I want young people with me demanding that primaries all occur on Super Tuesday and that universal healthcare be on the table. I want to give the Dems the opportunity to actually show their true colors.

        The only thing I’d say differently is “just the primaries.”

        The primaries are the most important, especially for local elections.

        Everyone should study the machinations of Jerry Falwell. Back in the 1970s he came up with ‘The Moral Majority.’ He grabbed power in the GOP by simply having his minions show up at every single organizing event. If the twon of Dogville was going to pick a new county clerk, you could bet that the MMs were going to make sure that the clerk was their creature.

        Look at what’s going on today. Trump’s people are putting themselves into positions to count the votes on election day.
