Clip resurfaces of Vance criticizing Harris for being 'childless,' testing Trump's new running mate
Comments Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance made in 2021 questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ leadership because she did not have biological children have resurfaced.
Hillary Clinton sharing it in a Tuesday post on X and adding sarcastically “what a normal, relatable guy who certainly doesn’t hate women having freedoms.”
Some of us find fulfillment in life without having to fill our emptiness with children, having change forced upon us. Some of us are perfectly capable whole human beings capable of bringing change into our lives at our own pace.
And some of us just don't like children and the life experience they bring.
I'm 56, Cis SWM, my home is paid in full, my car is paid in full, I'm debt free, and my monthly bills (minus food) are $400/month and I retired from being an FTE last year. I still do some contract work here and there, mostly just for fun and to stay active in the Infosec space.
It's fucking LOVELY
and the life experience they bring.
Preach. Some of us took care of our younger siblings when we were teenagers and that opened our eyes to how shit kids can be.
I babysat my cousin’s 3 kids under 5 for the year I lived in their basement (free rent trade)
And above all the noise and hassle and all, the day I knew kids definitely weren’t for me.. was the day the parents went out for one of their “be home tomorrow, probably” nights, knowing full well at least one of the kids had the flu.
It ended up being all three of them. All I did all night was give baths, sooth crying, change bedding, and clean up vomit.
I managed to keep them alive and relatively comfortable, but I don’t ever want to do anything even close to that ever again.
Or took care of our older siblings children.
Shout out to all my fellow latchkey/free babysitter folks out there. I still resent that I never had a "real" summer vacation growing up.
Yeah, societal pressure to have children is ridiculous; I figured that I never felt any kind of desire to have a kid and that should be reason enough to not have one.
I'm married, 48, don't have kids and never wanted them. It's great, no regrets.
My mom is REALLY hoping that I have children and can't accept that she'll never be a grandmother. Best I can give her is animals
I got lucky AF with my mother. She sat me down when I was 30, and very nicely explained to me how much she loved me and my brother. She said that she and I are more alike than anybody else in the family and that if she could go back in time and do things over she would not have had children. And then she told me the best advice I can give you Lee Is to not have children.
Now I'd already decided in fourth grade, third period, History, Miss Lake's class, May 1978 that I wasn't having kids. But it was really really nice to hear it from my mother.
I’m very close to you but I did get married in my late 40’s and my wife was mid-40’s. Neither of us ever wanted kids, nor had either of us ever considered marriage until we met each other. The marriage is more about dealing with elderly parents, insurance, shared assets like our home, etc. than anything else.
Going against the grain is tough. As long as no one is hurt, you and I don't care for not conforming. But the reality is that others don't care what we care, and relish in putting down those who do not conform. But as Albert Camus said: "if you can't win, resist."
Vance creeped the rapist's poll numbers lower even before the Biden withdrawal.
He'd already cost the convicted felon. And every day gets better!
Who could have guessed that adding Hillbilly Idiot to Trump's ticket would make it more unpopular?
So he's explicitly saying that a preacher confused him about his sexuality, not trans people. I wonder who he blames?
JD Vance would be the first gay VP though. Good on him.
I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."
..... Every day, I find out some new idiocy about this man
The qon party is just chock full of creepy, creepy weirdos. Not one of them should ever be permitted into office.
What a bunch of freaks.
Republicans love this shit. I hope Democrats get out to vote!
The party that loves to complain about virtue signaling uses their own children to do just that.
Trumps a joke of a candidate, they can’t even win against a ghoul anymore (their bet for this whole race)
Elon won’t even support anymore
