Maybe tax the rich, so normal people can afford children.

Some folks may need to become a parent to develop this form of empathy, but it isn’t by any means required. A ton of the childfree folks I’ve met are extremely empathetic and forward about wanting to better things.
Vance probably wanted a couch for a wife over a person, but had to settle /shitpost
If the world didn’t have so many J.D. Vances in it, I would reconsider having children.
The Bronze Age belief system makes these guys really fucking weird.
Hey! It’s an iron age belief system
This isn’t even bronze age bruh some primitive societies had women who specialised into certain tasks not have children for various reasons. Or even for paganist (religious) reasons.
Large part of the electorate. Maybe that should matter to him.
This couch fucker needs to resign.

It’s insane to me that this is where the line is drawn. Found guilty of rape, no big deal. Calls people childless cat owners, people go crazy.
That same attitude got trump elected in 2016
It’s really not the same attitude. JD Vance is a terrible pick, literally anyone else who would replace him would do better

It wasn’t that she was unlikable. It was all the bot farms and nobody would have ever thought Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies could possibly win, so too many voters stayed home. That will not happen this time.
VOTE!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that couldn’t vote without the help.
He’s really proud that he found a woman who will let him raw dog
Every time a new story about Vance comes out, I become more and more certain that Trump regrets choosing him.
All this thread gave me is the question:
What the fuck did I miss that JD Vance is now meme’d as a couch fucker?
An Internet User made up that he wrote in his book that he put a latex glove between couch cussions and fucked it. The Internet spread it fast.

And then this happened: https://knowyourmeme.com/news/ap-retracts-its-jd-vance-couch-cushion-story-fact-check-leading-some-to-jokingly-conclude-the-lewd-tale-must-be-true
And this:
Vance made a statement clearly saying he has never had sexual relations with a couch ‘to completion’.
This qualifier means, to me, that he did indeed do the thing.
I’mma need some sauce on that denial.
That’s more than enough proof for me!
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard it. That statement was so funny.
I had to read it like four times, I focus (a bit too much) on rhetoric when someone speaks because I’m used to qualifiers like this twisting what they say, so I’m going to just keep pointing it out.
I’m a childless adult. I’m such a terrible person. I worship the devil and I kill people. What are you gonna do about it? My cats are literally tiny Satans.
Actually, they fucking rock. Best kitties in the world.
Fellow childless adult here. Partner and I want kids, but we can’t bear to bring a person into this world where the climate is fucked, reaganomics has ruined the middle class, and restrictive reproductive healthcare laws make pregnancy a huge risk.
JD Vance wants to bitch about childless adults, but he and his ilk are causing us to abstain from having kids.
Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris’ step daughter.
The wealthy want more people in the world so that they can pay employees less. More people, more competition for jobs. Also, more consumption, more sales.
Infinite growth requires an increase in one of two things - workers in the pool, or wages.
Corporate sees one option.
Even if that’s true, being able to navigate the media environment is a job requirement for politicians.
He sucks so bad at this.
I’ve been saying this for a while now that this anger and resentment over childfree people has become increasingly pervasive and dangerous and it really feels like we are going to be one of the first against the wall.
Even among otherwise reasonable people I know there is a shocking amount of resentment towards people who choose to live their lives for something besides children.
I haven’t really seen that honestly, it’s pretty much a non-event. I have a kid, some of my circle don’t plan on it. No one really cares.
I’ve seen childfree people on the internet complaining about people with kids plenty enough, but I always assumed they were a vocal minority.
The only time I’ve ever seen this topic as an actual point of contention in real life is people who insist on no kids at weddings. Which I do think is kind of a dick move, but also people’s preogerative.
I’ve seen kids at weddings. Hell, I’ve been a kid at weddings. It was generally a bad experience for everyone.
Bored. Hungry. Thirsty. Where’s the toilet? I wanna play over there. Not allowed to touch this and that. Don’t run around. Don’t yell. Stop doing rude things. Don’t cry. Barf. Sleepy. Who gave them alcohol? I wanna go home! Stop crying. Etc and so on.
Kids and weddings rarely mix well, often making it a burdensome experience for everyone, mostly for the kids.
This is also why I hate weddings as an adult. They’re boring. Maybe I’d feel differently if it was my own wedding or if I was really emotionally invested in the couple or something.
Weddings are different if you’re a close friend of the betrothed. Then it’s a party with all your friends and a bunch of people you tangentially know.
Being a distant friend or cousin at those events sucks.
Or maybe the wedding they want to make wouldn’t be appropriate for kids?
A lot of times this is it. Adults want to get shitfaced, play songs with cuss words, and have fun.
You can’t do that with your kids in tow and with other people’s kids around.
It’s because so many of these people hate their children and resent those kids for being alive. I have heard other parents talk about how much they wasted on kids bringing them up, and how much better they imagine their lives had they not had kids.
They want other people saddled with this same burden and drag everyone down to their misery.
It’s natural as a parent to think about life without kids, especially with how miserable it has become. Kids are seldom allowed to be kids. It’s all structured nonsense and constant trash like 20 games of little kid sports, which they don’t want to play. They want to sit inside and play electronics just like adults.
Parents also spend hundreds of dollars on things like music lessons, and the kid gets bored because Minecraft genuinely is more fun for a kid. Then they get angry and hateful at the kid.
Well what good are you if you aren’t making future soldiers? Get out there and sow your wild oats. Or spread your legs. Whatever you have to do, do it for America.
Harris out here telling us we shouldn’t throw up our arms when we should be rolling up our sleeves. Vance just wants to roll up our slipcovers.
Obsession with childless adults? Hmm, I think I know which major Republican donor recommended him to Trump…
