Ted Lieu
Weird, in my two decades of elected office, I’ve never ever had a constituent come up to me and raise the issue of fertility rate. Ever.

Kamala HQ
Ramaswamy: JD Vance is taking on issues like America's fertility rate. That's something that's working for him

Host: You think that's working for him? The childless cat ladies?

Ramaswamy: Uh... w-well...

1. White women are not popping out enough white male babies.

This is the core of GOP fear and anger.

They might lose their minority control over the population.

[dalton99a]

2. .

[dlk]

3. Republicans fight against family-friendly policies then wonder why the birth rate is declining

They don’t live in reality.

[Diraven]

18. Universal healthcare and family leave

These would help more than anything to increase our fertility rate, if that's really the most important issue to them. People just can't afford to have more children these days.

[dlk]

30. Childcare is very expensive

The cost keeps many parents out of the workforce.

[Think. Again.]

4. The republican party needs to die.

[BComplex]

13. I'm so ready for that to happen. It just needs to GO AWAY when it dies. No More Republicans Ever.

No more weirdos in government ever.

[Johonny]

5. The GOP is the party of weirdos

They can only solve imaginary problems.

[Deek1935]

6. Bunch of fucking WEIRDOS!

[Brainfodder]

7. If you can't beat this, quit.

Also, trying to defend this tripe, also quit!

Wisdom for weirdos!

_____ for Weirdos book audio series out yet?

[Diamond_Dog]

8. It's only working for him

among other creepy controlling males who think it’s their right to stick their ignorant noses in a woman’s business

[not fooled]

10. "Mind your own damn business"

Sayeth the Coach. And he's right.

[lastlib]

17. ...and not just their, um, *noses*......

yeah, they think it's their god-given right. The women, of course, HAVE no rights.

[Danmel]

9. I've worked for a Democratic elected official for 18 years

Fielded thousands of phone calls.
Not a one about fertility rates.

[Boomerproud]

11. Look who she's talking to. The media actually gave him credibility when he ran.

[Marcuse]

16. Laura Ingram was the exception. She gave him absolutely no credibility. EDIT: My bad, they do look alike.

[paleotn]

21. And there you have the reich.

Rama-goober, Clarence Thomas, every Repuke female, et. al., are tokens. Nothing more. They're remoras eating the scraps and leftovers. Not even proper parasites. The lowest of the low.

Coulter is beyond vile, but many times she's a truth sayer, blurting out what the rest of the reich is thinking.

[Marcuse]

12. Project 2025: United States Bureau of Birth Control

?

[not fooled]

31. Yeah, but the figure should be an elephant.

Uncle Sam would NEVER (on his own, at least). Or so I want to believe.

[Marcuse]

32. Elections have consequences. Corruption can win.

[Clouds Passing]

14. If the Republican billionaires would quit poisoning our environment then we wouldn't have a problem with our

fertility rate.

[JustAnotherGen]

15. Leave it to

Ramalama Ding Dong to say something insane and out of touch. Dude gotta go.

[paleotn]

19. Ironically, the birth rate Jethro talks about, doesn't include newborns that look like Rama-goober.

You're a token South Asian, Rama. Must suck to be you.

[AltairIV]

22. 3 options

Quite right, I'll never understand their support for the "orange" one. Their victory will afford Vik three options, none of his choosing: resettlement in a camp, becoming "disappeared," or being deported.

[karin_sj]

20. That was hilarious

You could see it in his eyes that he knew he was spouting a bunch of bullshit.

[liberal N proud]

23. Creating wedge issues

The cult leaders are looking for new wedge issues as the issues the have pushed are wearing out.

[relayerbob]

24. I suspect more people are concerned ..

with overpopulation and its effect on the environment than "fertility rate". This whole fertility rate thing is a completely manufactured problem, with psychos like Musk propagating it.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

27. We need less people, not more ...nt

[SouthBayDem]

25. Why is CNN interviewing this failed candidate?

I can’t wait for their interviews with Jill Stein, Dean Phillips, and Chase Oliver.

[617Blue]

26. Because R.

[PedroXimenez]

28. why is it always the venture capitalists talking about fertility rates?

[keep_left]

29. What's even funnier is seeing far-right media like the EWTN radtrads...

...trying to spin JD Vance's "crazy catlady" comments over the last several weeks--apparently they think they can get America to eat what is obviously a shit sandwich! The only people willing to choke it down are the idiots who watch EWTN religiously (pun intended), all of whom are past childbearing age!
