This might be a motivator. Hopefully, they'll post their voting experience on whatever replaces tik-tok.

I don't think young folk can afford to follow the pattern of previous generations, becoming politically aware with age - I think they more than anyone have been slammed in all directions but the SOP of the Greed Over People party.

Had them make videos for assignments, use them to record activities from virtual PE assignments etc.
This may piss of a few not already alienated by the push to open schools regardless of public health recommendations.

For many years, we have bemoaned the fact that generally liberal younger folks just don't vote in high proportion.
This seems like an "own goal" by PINO.
This just gave a lot of 18-24 year olds a reason to be mad enough to vote, if just to slap at the moron-in-chief.

With Covid keeping them from visiting the dentist - they use TicTac's for their bad breath. If Trump bans TicTac what are they to do?

It was one of those Button, Nipple, Nambia, Yo Semitites moments that happen to us all.

Like it IS what it IS - right?

It won't help his chances, but I just can't picture people voting in a presidential election over Tik Tok
