I see Democrats dug out an interview with Trump's running mate, JD Vance where he was talking about people like AOC and Harris who chose not to have families. He clearly was not talking about women who are unable to have children, but wanted them.
Vance was spot fucking on. Childless by choice cat ladies are miserable fucks. They made bad choices and have regrets. It's not just childless women either. Look at Apegirl.
They do not have a stake in the future of their country. Why the fuck should they be running the country FFS.
I don't support universal suffrage. Voters should be stakeholders, ie employed.
I think those seeking elected office should also be stakeholders, ie they should have families. I'm saying this as an East Asian woman. Rich East Asian countries have the lowest birth rates in the world.
Countries need their citizens to reproduce. Politicians should lead by example. Kids get in the way of a lot of East Asian women's self-indulgent lifestyle choices. Sorry, I would never vote for you. Nobody should.
Vance's comments do not reflect policy on the Trump ticket. He is giving an opinion. Who cares.
Vance was just making a joke.
It wasn't the best joke, obviously, but still just a joke. Not that it matters; the selective literalist interpretation used by his detractors is based on politics, not communication efficacy.
That said, being a breeder alone doesn't magically imbue someone with good qualities or rational priorities or clarity of vision in regard to the future of humanity.
There are millions of possible reasons someone hasn't contributed to population growth. Not all of those reasons involve regret or antipathy toward children/families; those kinds of negative assertions are themselves politically motivated instead of being literally reflective of reality.
This whole thing is just another stupid political game.
Someone says something stupid then his "opponents" put their own stupid twist on it while trying to use it against him. It's a big parade of stupid whose main effect is preventing people from communicating 'across enemy lines' and talking about things that could potentially result in fundamental changes.

I think the point is not that people with kids have better qualities than those without. Clearly there are millions of examples of people with kids who are absolute scum. Scum to others and scum to the very children they procreated.
The point is that you have a better chance of someone being a better fit for leadership if they have a personally vested interest in subsequent generations thriving in this country because their own blood is a part of those subsequent generations. With a vested interested in the outcomes for those they should love people might have a greater propensity towards making choices that will better achieve a better outcome than those without. It's a guestimate - -nothing more. Much like reading the tea leaves or trying to play the stock market based on certain signals.
But see, for all the times you will hear some dorky libtard use the term "it's nuanced" they prove here they have not the slightest understanding of what nuanced actually means.
As any decent person here who is a parent can tell you -- you have a completely different mindset on the future when you become a parent than you did before.
Again, none of this is hard fast rules... just working the probabilities is all Vance was doing. But that doesn't stop the scum on the left from being the scum on the left though. Because God forbid they could run on anything besides murdering those kids in the womb and the fact that they are not their opponent.

Looks good on paper but "a personally vested interest in subsequent generations thriving in this country" isn't inextricably bound to being a breeder and that's my point. Any and all sweeping generalizations are impediments to communication, often intentionally, not vehicles for it.

Seriously though... Michelle ain't going to run, not after dealing with plantation liberals like Hillary and Jill. They're arguably as racist towards "those coloured folk" as your average Chow is. She has her mansion out in Martha's Vineyard with the lake out the back where she can drown anyone who looks like exposing her secret life as a troonie.
I suppose I am what would be considered a male version of a childless cat lady. I am not not in the least bit offended by Mr Vance's comments. I think they were made tongue in cheek.
But, even if he truly means them, Kamala Harris had one job as vp, border czar, and she could not possibly have given a worse performance.
Is there a connection with her never having kids? I doubt it. But, she did show she cares not a wit about the future of her country. But, so did Biden and he has grandchildren.

Exactly, and then shameless act like it is their right to do so as if pregnancy was a contagion they could catch merely by walking down the street through no fault of their own
Want to be in charge of you own reproductive heath and future? Don't fuck, or use any one of a dozen contraceptive method available.

Having kids gives a person good motivation to get up in the morning...
But how many kids you have in today's climate is, an issue.
What is a good number of children to have 1, 2, 3, or more?
When I was a kid I wanted 10... now many decades later I would be sick with worry having all those kids.
When I was a kid I could walk down the street to our beautiful Swan River for a swim all by myself. But only an idiot would let their minor walk down to the river by themselves these days. It's just too dangerous to have kids. I don't even know how American mums can send their kids off to school knowing that a psycho with a semi might be just around the corner.
I hope Trump wins and restores the border, rounds up all the illegal criminals and deports them. He said he will do that day 1.

PEOPLE with genuine dignity don't lie on purpose... we can't hold it against people who get things muddled up from time to time..., but deliberately lying is demonic. Kamala is demonic.

Biggie Smiles
Bigly.
Nevermind women who dont want children, many dudes dont wanna marry them anymore in my country and yours Bigly.
I'm more Progressive than you but I think at fault divorce should be re-introduced Bigly. That is - any partner who initiates divorce proceedings for frivolous reasons or breaks the marriage contract is at fault. So golddiggers who want the guys bank account, treat him like an ATM or expect a lotto payout divorce dont git nothin.
I've met women who left their husbands for no good reason yet got his retirement savings and his house. Only reason they left was to get what they wrongfully considered theirs. These men get a shit deal for all their years of loyalty and sacrifice.
Another thing I would end are women who claim they are victims of physical violence, then kick him out of his house without any proof. Then they get possession of the house and the guy ends up losing it. This happens a lot in Canada yknow.
I'd make both parties move out of the house until a proper investigation is conducted to verify the claims of these golddiggers.
That's in a nutshell why many guys don't wanna become dads anymore. Theres nothing it for them.
I'm meeting more guys in my country who are either looking for women in other countries or moving out of Canada altogether in search of companionship
I know that offends a lot of women and feminists but that's the way I see it.

Central bankers love the 'childless cat ladies' JD Vance ridiculed.
If you read that Vance statement and wonder what any of it has to do with central banking and the Federal Reserve, it's a fair question.
Bankers make money by putting people into debt and charging them exorbitant interest. It's called usury. It's explained in the Bible, in Leviticus 25:36. "Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you." Usury is condemned in Exodus, Deuteronomy, Nehemiah, Psalms, and Ezekiel.
A society financially tied to usury breeds corruption and the destruction of the family. Bankers want to create as many debt-holders as possible. Bankers want as many people as possible in the workforce chasing paper money. They want as many homeowners as possible taking out mortgages and other loans. Bankers love high taxes and high inflation. The less money you have and the higher the cost of living, the more loans and credit cards you will need.
Bankers love childless, unmarried cat ladies. They acquire debt the way squirrels acquire food for winter.
Yes I agree

Police and any people who are paid by tax dollars should not vote.
I'd agree with the logic about childless VS people with families.

Some good ideas.
Quote from: Garraty_47 on July 29, 2024, 11:02:36 AMLooks good on paper but "a personally vested interest in subsequent generations thriving in this country" isn't inextricably bound to being a breeder and that's my point. Any and all sweeping generalizations are impediments to communication, often intentionally, not vehicles for it.
It's why tribalism is so rampant and intractable and destructive.
Funny how all that enmity and division always benefits the ruling classes; a coincidence I'm sure.
I don't think this applies to men the same way it does with women.
Women who are my age and haven't had children on purpose are creepy and loopy in the head.
Even lesbians will have babies. They buy sperm and take turns carrying the babies or they adopt.
If I can step up and contribute to the countries population and crank out some womb nuggets and raise them properly with good heads on their shoulders, anyone can.
Men aren't the same at all. Family men tend to be better leaders ONLY if they are good leaders in their own homes. Biden is a failure on all fronts and he has a family.
Then men like my man...who has never been married, never had biological children...can be some of the best leaders and father figures. He raised his niece and has been amazing with my kids since they were born. He didn't have his own children but he absolutely cares deeply about the futures of the children in his life.
Having kids does not automatically make a person better or more conscious. Evil scum bag pieces of shit have babies. And abuse the babies they have. So you're right that having children won't make a shit person better.
But on a general level having families will make you more concerned about the future. I know I became MUCH more involved with politics, local government and communities after becoming a mother and before becoming a mother I never gave the slightest shit about any of that.
In my experience and it seems the experience of others....women who hit 40 and stayed childless intentionally tend to be the most immature, self absorbed, angry and hateful women out there.
Go on reddit to the childless by choice forums and OMG. A lot of those people just hate children. They spew venom over children in restaurants, children on planes, children in stores. Not only do they make being childless an identity ....they hate and resent the fact that children exist and have the audacity to exist in public. I imagine these people seeing a beautiful little child just standing at the check out with his/her mother and one of these people just stewing in psychotic hatred over it. Uhg.
People who hate children and animals are NOT my kind of people. At all.

Could you imagine the shrieking tantrums over rights being taken away? Uhg.
I understand why the US doesn't have these requirements but goddamn.
It would help A LOT if students were required to learn how our own government works.

A social media space filled with people who make being childless a part of or even central to their personal identity is rife with people who have disdain for children?
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Next you'll be saying that spaces dedicated to certain soap operas are full of people who talk about the characters as if they're real people, or spaces for a particular sport team fans tend to talk shit about all the other teams.
LoL

I could tolerate a cat lady. I wouldnt be buddies with her but..I do love the kitties.

It's not like color coordination is solely a gay superpower.
It's also in the wheelhouse of artists, graphic designers, GUI developers, etc.
I'd be willing to bet even you have a smidge of talent for coordinating colors, Herm.
That doesn't make you gay.
The threesomes with Joe and Thiel do.
Muahahaha
That fruit Joe keeps trying to get guys to join him and Thiel. But, we told him we ain't artists,and graphic designers. We like gals.

It's very sensible. But, there is no chance of it ever changing in Canada and the US.
Trudeau's coalition partner, the New Democratic Party has long advocated for the voting age to be lowered to sixteen. We would have political parties making subsidizing the latest Iphones part of their platforms.

It's these kind of reckless ideas that childless politicians are more likely to favour.

Yeah, they did. Why wouldn't they? When they've captured the education institutions to the point they can convince the students into mutilating their own bodies under the surgeon's blade, you really think the Dems would baulk at brainwashing them into "Blue No Matter Who" and pointing them at a ballot box?
