Childfree cat lady here.

I want paid parental leave, universal healthcare, including reproductive healthcare, and food for kids at public schools. I also want at a minimum of 4 years of university to be free should they so choose it.

I know this makes me a monster, but I stand firm in believing we should take care of others. Do your worst, couch fucker.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. Wanting to feed the children without even making sure you get a solid day's work in the mines out of them first?! Teaching them to read wastes valuable time that they could be laboring, and it might give them ideas like, "wait I'm 8, maybe I shouldn't work 14 hours a day."

[–] Pips@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Seriously, not even taking into consideration what the children yearn for.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The conservative mind can't believe you. Nothing happens unless it affects them personally. Hey, to some degree we're all guilty of thinking in this manner.

Our personal experiences shape our worldview. Can't get away from that. But damn does this man have a take he's pushing on all of us.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago

Child full? Dog Dad here, we're pretty much nemeses, and I completely agree on all those things. Sometimes you need a monster to get things moving.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 68 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Listen, JD. I'm the childless left because I don't want kids. It's not some biological issue, it's a choice (that I understand I am lucky to have.) So, no, I'm not trying to brainwash the kids. I'm trying to ignore them as best I can. I don't like kids. They are snotty, and dirty, and foul, and dumb. I don't want to spend any more time with them than I have to, and that means I'm not brainwashing them. I don't have the time for that kind of shit. I'm still working on polluting all of the waterways to turn the frogs gay. Don't you have a chaise to grope?

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm the other end. I want kids, but people like him have made the world so shitty that it feels immoral for me to have one.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Me too. How could I create a little human when all the monied geriatrics are obstructing any attempt to maintain a livable planet?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can always adopt.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

There’s a wealth gate on that, isn’t it like $25,000 just to apply?

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

JD Vance seriously needs a psychiatrist; yesterday.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 23 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

And a well-placed dick punch

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You have to have a dick to get punched in it.

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 weeks ago

But not from a couch

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

That seems a little too tame. Seems more like he needs the testes removed.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What's this guy's obsession with other people's kids or lack thereof?

It's fuckin weird.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Republicans have proven overwhelmingly clearly and often that they want to fuck your kids. Statistically speaking, if you get elected to Republican leadership there's about a good 50% chance that you're a diddler.

Dems have a couple also but their statistics hover around 3%, at least for confirmed cases that I know about. On the other hand nearly every other Republican that's ever been elected has shown up with their cock out.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They don’t fuck enough couches

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's fine if JD Vance wants to fuck couches. I just don't think Ikea should be a brothel.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

He's probably like most closeted, self-hating fascist gits: since they don't have kids, he assumes it's because they're also and only fucking couches. He hates himself for being a closeted couch fucker, so he projects that hate onto them.

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 35 points 2 weeks ago

From someone growing up religious:

FUCK
YOU

(Directed at Vance, not OP)

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You know what the easiest way to brainwash children is?

Raising them.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 16 points 2 weeks ago

..and send them to church

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 19 points 2 weeks ago

Why is this couch fucker so obsessed with other people's children?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 19 points 2 weeks ago

My wife and I do not have kids, do not want kids, and have taken steps to ensure we don't. Some of our reasons can be traced back to people like JD Vance being in positions of power.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Why does he hate liberal childless people so much? Is it because there's less victims around for his pedophile pals to get their hands on?

Or maybe it's because not enough babies are being trafficked through "crisis pregnancy centers" into Christian only adoption agencies?

Whatever he's doing, it's making him look worse than just being a silly a couch fucker.

What a pathetic human being.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

What a weird, pathetic human being - FTFY.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Always vague platitudes with these dipshits.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, shit. He caught me. I've been over here brainwashing your children, telling them that healthcare is good, everyone should have a home, and all other sorts of evil Leftist propaganda. If only he hadn't found out. Now, I'm caught. How will I pervert the minds of children now that JD has figured out my scheme?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Everything they say is projection. This is the party that created the alt right pipeline

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

I would be more surprised if he hadn't said this

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Brainwashing minds? it's either brainwashing or washing minds, you can't brainwash minds unless... minds have brains?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

If you have a worm, it's possible to have a mind within your brain.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's so weird. Like trump literally chose him because he's actually dumber than his boss.
