What 'cancelling' your dad's vote says about the U.S. election's gender divide
Can you actually cancel someone else's vote? Not really, but in a tight presidential race in a deeply divided country, U.S. voters are still trying — or at least making light of it.
With the U.S. election just days away, social media is rife with people claiming to be "cancelling out" the votes of family members and friends with differing political views. It began with a Gen Z TikTok trend that later spread to X where voters have been posting tongue-in-cheek videos saying they're cancelling the votes cast by their parents.
Specifically, most of the TikTok posts are about "voting to cancel your dad," the implication often being that the voter's father is more conservative. It's also inspired a sub-trend of people posting about being grateful that they don't have to cancel out a vote. (And, because it's the internet, a sub-sub-trend of people sarcastically saying "how nice for you.")
