Young influencers are using TikTok to make socialism cool. Left-leaning users “are booming” on TikTok, where they’re using the video sharing app to create content to teach others about radical politics under hashtags like #socialism, #progressive, and #bernie2020— and some are earning thousands of views. One creator observes there’s a “whole coalition of [Gen Z] that’s doing political content,” often playing off memes and trends trending on the platform to make the content accessible. YPulse’s Special Election Report found that social media is young voters’ top source of information on politics and candidates. (BuzzFeed News)
