Summary

Ahead of the 2024 election, Generation Z has sparked a trend on TikTok, ā€œcanceling outā€ family membersā€™ 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.

Although Gen Z voters lean slightly toward Harris, a significant portion supports Trump. With over 47 million early votes cast, polls show a tight race, especially in key swing states.

Itā€™s easier to get behind and push for those American values when you realize you arenā€™t really equal ā€“ not because of anything you did, but because you simply exist. Itā€™s hard to not feel bitter about it, especially when part of the population wants you dead and is actively trying to persuade everyone else to get on board.

But we see our allies, we know who is standing up for us. We stand with you, for everyoneā€™s sake. Together we can overcome this.
