She did not touch on his claim that people who don’t have kids are more sociopathic.

Conservatives be like: be responsible, don't be a welfare queen, pull yourself up by your bootstraps

Also conservatives when people don't have kids due to money: you don't contribute to society.

Well ok then

Fuck these stupid breeders.

Fuck you then mate.

Not necessarily, but it's not right for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fair enough but let's not label them "breeders" and tell them to get fucked.

Edit: word

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Knowing what kind of future they inevitably face I think I'm forced to say yes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Humans have been breeding in arguably much worse potential futures than this point in time. People were breeding during world wars and famines etc....

Some shit sucks but that's part of life. I have the entire world's knowledge in the palm of my hands. Food is available for everyone around me. It's been much much worse than this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm going to reject "people used to make equally bad ot worse decisions" as useful advice and I shall remain child free.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do whatever you want for whatever reason you want. But it is true that people have been breeding through much worse times than this. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Again, "people made bad decisions before" is not a good argument for me to also make a bad decision. You will stop contacting me now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Whatever dude

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Everytime she opens her mouth I feel better about watching the racists her husband courts tear her apart.

Leopards, faces.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

He's still a complete cunt. Nobody has to have kids if they don't want to.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

That doesn't make it better.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I don't know, I would need to see the ~~sex tape~~ evidence they are trying. /s

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

My experience living with conservative folks is that the explanation might work.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess a lot of couches must be disappointed and feel like side-chicks, when he’s taking his wife with him on campaign tour

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

"JD I'm a loveseat stop making me feel like a side table"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As a brown woman, she's going to have serious issues down the line if drumpf wins.

I wonder if she ever considered that...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Given the absolute lemon of a human being she chose to hitch herself to, it's a safe bet that she has terrible judgement skills.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She might also just be a piece of shit herself

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah we like to talk about how groups like the Jews for Hitler were idiots for not seeing the writing on the wall, but they were also evil. The antisemitism alone would’ve made the Nazis evil, but they were evil for a lot of other reasons too.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OMG, that makes it all better!😁 now you have my vote😙 No actually fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

She reminds me of The Deep's wife in The Boys, jumping in to try and defuse her husband's stupidity.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love how she's like, "Oh no he wasn't insulting you specifically." Like dude, he's already insulting people for something completely insane, it doesn't matter which group of people he's targeting. No wonder she's with him.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Anyone who is fine insulting people for their mixed race heritage while also having mixed race kids of their own is a a special type of asshole. There’s ignorance (which can be fixed) and then there’s being a complete sociopath who sells their own children’s wellbeing just for career advancement. I feel very sorry for their kids.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Ah so they are just against the freedom to choose not to have kids so his platform must include a forced breading program. That is so normal. Not weird at all.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I have a question. I have actively chosen to not have kids because I don’t want to, but I once went into a MEPS and literally signed my life away to Uncle Sam as a tool of the Navy.

Does that make me more or less American than the people who just cum in each other for something to do on a Tuesday, because they’re in America?

I'm choosing not to have kids because of all the fucked up genetics in my family.

Tons of depression, cancer, mental illness and antisocial behavior. I don't want anyone else to have to suffer what I've had to deal with this life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

That's very altruistic of you. You can always adopt if you want to have kids btw.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hope you're well, mate. That sounds like a rough lot, but I really hope that you have folks around you that love you, and can be good for you. I had a friend that I probably didn't tell enough that I wanted to be there for him when he was down. It can be hard for people watching loved ones struggle and not knowing how to engage with it, but I hope that it isn't seen as them not caring, and hope that you have those friends or family ready to support you, even I'd they don't quite know how to right away.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thank you, and I do have a pretty good support group. If anything has gone well in my life is that there are a few people I can rely on and who get me and are always there. And I can't imagine how hard this life would have been without them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

The American Tuesday is sacred.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's strange that their animosity towards the childless is an order of magnitude more vocal and persistent than their animosity towards the MAGA voters who racially abused, and continue to racially abuse, Mrs. Vance and their children. One might even go so far as to call this disparity "weird".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Repugnicunts know they aren't getting any meaningful growth from new converts, so they rely on the Catholic Church's tactic of forcing all of their faction to give birth as much as possible to make up for the numbers.

He didn't quite understand the concept of a cuck chair, hence the couch memes.
