The GOP needs to convince voters that Donald Trump and JD Vance are regular guys, and, manifestly, they are not.
It would be strange for Democrats to attack the Republican presidential ticket for being āweirdā if it werenāt true. But those men are getting weirder by the day.
Former president Donald Trumpās running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), isĀ off to a wobbly start. AĀ Harris 2024 campaignĀ email sent on Friday was headlined, āJD Vance Is a Creep (Who Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide).ā The statement continued, āJD Vance is weird. Voters know it ā Vance is the most unpopular VP pick in decades.ā
It was bad enough when footage resurfaced of a 2021 interview in which Vance called Democrats āa bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that theyāve made.ā Things got worse last week whenĀ Vance offered a non-apology, blaming āpeopleā for āfocusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said.ā
Uh, okay, but that doesnāt help at all. The substance ā which Vance said he stands by ā is asserting that adults without childrenĀ do not deserve an equal sayĀ in the nationās affairs. Another unearthed clip of VanceĀ showed him arguing that parents, when they vote, should be able to cast an extra ballot for each child in their family who is under voting age. He didnāt take that back, either, going only so far as to claim it was a āthought experimentā and not a firm policy position.
ok? I donāt see what that has to with my point or your original point. People do all sorts of things. What matters is the averages. Are you seriously saying parents on average care less about kids than people without kids?
Why? As you said, people do all sorts of things. Some people with no kids care about kids a lot, and some with kids donāt. Using averages as an excuse to give some people more representation than others (which is what the guy youāre agreeing with proposed and is related to his Kamala āno kidsā attack) is a terrible idea.
Well ok then, all kids should have a vote! If youāre considered legally alive, you can vote! Since it really doesnāt matter on average, that babies and toddlers are pretty bad at voting properly right? Full equality!
If youāre not already a registered Republican, you should become one. Youāre just their type.
