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.

    STOP. FUCKING. REPUBLICANS.

    Look, I know women in these situations often have no easy way to get out from the financial situation they’re in, or will be alone and unsafe with a vengeful partner. I feel terribly for anyone in that situation, and if I knew anyone like that personally I would offer to help them.

    But don’t fuck them in the first place.

      I mean, personally, I’m a financially safe option.

      But then you’d have to meet me, and to meet me I would need time and energy to get out of the house, and it becomes this whole thing and I’d just rather not
