I agree with JD Vance that only children should count for votes!

He is saying nonsensical stuff in order to get name recognition. Ironically, being a best-selling author makes him an unknown in rural areas

per child
🤔

✌🏻

Vance said there should be EXTRA votes for people which kids.

As for your line, women can be just as thoughtless in their voting patterns as men can.

As to voting patterns, I would take women over men any day of the week in terms of voting.

Hes courting the Evangelical "Be fruitful and multiply" wing. We don't need every Republican going the way of the Duggars.

Deliberately childless among those who give back to society, devote their lives to others? NOPE!
Can't have those people voting either!

WTF? A DUER posted this? What is this... post an outrageous RW meme day?

"am I going to tell?" What, do you think this is the first grade?

Being sarcastic about what someone else said. There is so much stupidity going around at this time it's a real shame.

...your sarcasm detector needs a major overhaul, and you need to crank down that leap to judgment a bit.

nor your unwarranted snark. Maybe YOU need to take your own advice.

That's a truly bizarre way to take it. Lighten up, Francis.

I mean, I don't feel like I had to explain it...

No. It is not funny. Not cute. It is a repeat of a RW meme and offensive as hell.

You implied in your self-delete that "because it was posted here (presumedly "here" means at DU) that we should assume it is sarcastic. Ummm, no. If that were true, there would be several thousand DUers now banned for disseminating RW memes--whether they were "misunderstood" or not-- that would still be here. You want benefit-of-the doubt? Then be clear.

The thought that ANYONE would be eliminated from voting for any criteria, other than legal eligibility is so repugnant--so reminiscent of Jim Crowe-- that yes, I find it offensive as hell and so not funny. Given that is precisely what some Republican state legislatures are trying to do through suppression laws--and many successfully thus far--I'm surprised you would find humor in it either.

One of my professors once explained the concept of the eggshell-headed plaintiff...

Next?

What are we becoming if someone is threatened with a dark mark of a jury because of a lack of a sarcasm tag?

Does he mean People who ever had kids? People who adopted or foster? People with only young kids in the house? What's age cut off? How about us grandparents? One vote per grandkid? Lots of questions on this one.

That is a mighty big assumption. There are millions of women who voted for Trump, in both elections. Those millions of women voted the way they did for a few reasons. Either they liked what Trump was doing, they deferred to their husbands and voted with him, or they were driven to vote conservative based on fundamentalist religion and what their church tells them to do.

We cannot assume that just because one is a mother, that one will think about things from the perspective of the future that is supported by empirical evidence.

The Democratic party is the party that is thinking into the future. That is why we have the proposal for both hard infrastructure and social infrastructure (social programs). That is why any proposal for a Green New Deal is only taken seriously on the Democratic side. Vance is using the same twisted rhetoric that conservatives use to make it seem like they are on to something when they are actually the "bad guys" in the scenario. It isn't the "childless left" that is only making decisions in the short term. Decisions in the short term stem from our current economic system, which is based on Wall Street modeling, thinking only about quarterly earnings. That is the way Republicans think. What can they do to get wins in the coming election cycle. Oh, they have a long term plan, but it does not involve creating a better world for everyone. It involves them having permanent power, then deciding who gets to live in their society. They just can't sell that vision because it eliminates more than half of the current population. So, as always, they project their own desires onto their opponents.

Conservative mothers are not very different from conservative fathers.
