Summary

Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ‘toe the line’ politically at home.

A TikTok trend of women “canceling out” their partners’ votes highlights a gender divide in the 2024 election, with many young women supporting Kamala Harris while their male partners back Trump. Campaigns encourage women, especially those in conservative households, to vote independently, emphasizing privacy through ads featuring voices like Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.

    Because my mom’s too nice of a person. She’s stuck with my dad through his alcoholism, cheating, and moving 7 times because my dad kept losing jobs. I’m not saying my dad is a good person and I generally think he’s a piece of shit. But you know what we do at family get togethers? We don’t talk about politics because we all know that we don’t agree with each other and we’d rather have a good time with each other than bitch about everything. They’re also in their seventies so they’d probably rather enjoy what time they have left with their family.

        Sounds like it could be old school mentality of everything for the family. At that age she might have been propagandized in her youth to suffer for family. Happened a lot back then.
