Just days away from Election Day, many women have on TikTok have hinted that they’re voting for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, while their parents are voting for Republican nominee Donald Trump. As part of the trend, each video shows social media users with a piece of paper in hand as they leave their houses to go vote.

"POV, [on my way] to cancel out my Trump-loving husband’s vote in a swing state,” she said, along with a blue heart emoji and an American flag emoji.

I see plenty of gen z being influenced by toxic nonsense on outlets like Youtube, as well as doing some of the influencing. I also know people from Gen Y, Gen X, and boomer age range that hate donnie with a burning passion and would vote for a potato over voting for donnie...

So the idea of framing this as just some generational thing seems kinda moot, at least in my experience. But for some reason, the notion that a set of people merely born between two sets of dates are a monolith is all too common...even as we reject similar framing for almost any other demographic measure...

Oh? I've been seeing it more. Is there a way to know and get the right source? I kinda hate MSN.

What @SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world said

It does state the source of the article though (this one says The Independent UK), and you can click the 'jump to' icon to go the proper site-- but it won't be at the proper article, just the main page.

But just in general-- If my query returns a lot of MSN hijack links, I just go back and put -MSN in the search.

Edit: screen of page

pointing out where the jump button is with a red circle. It's in the top right corner

Highlight the entire headline, and perform a search on it. Even if you can't discern the true source, there ought to be plenty of better sites to link to.

Apparently the browser I use just doesnt work with MSN at all, so thats been the best way to know what's the wrong site at least.

cancel culture people cancel culture

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

All those people getting canceled who go on podcasts with 50m views and on top, they get a Netflix show etc. They are being canceled too hard.

Also treason I think being caught doing that also counts as canceled nowadays.
