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.

Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.

So Kirk and Watters (among others, I'm sure) believe that individual voters casting their votes independently based on their own judgment "undermines family values." Got it.

I agree. The husbands voting for Trump independently really undermines family values.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 73 points 2 years ago

It brings up the most damning dichotomy. That women would feel the need to hide their vote for Harris, but men don't feel like they need to hide their vote for Trump. I wonder why that might be.

Shine the light on this. It’s how you fix their brains. And if that dichotomy isn’t explainable to them. Well you’ve hit the sexist wall.

It's more like... "Women are nieve and inherently incapable of making big pictures decisions." Because histaria or the Bible said so, or something.

The irony here is Jesse Waters cheated on his ex wife. So, who's actually undermining family values here? And it ain't the women.

He is the one that said woman voting independently is "as bad as an affair" as well.

Dude reveling in his shitbaggerity and just winking at the camera. He certainly knows his audience.

I wish these "men" would take some time off to get help with their issues instead of inflicting them on everybody else.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

They are habitual liars. Nothing they say is in good faith. Charlie is a terrorist who helped finance an attack on the capitol, the article should bring that up if they want to cite him as a reference for anything political.
