I’m commenting so I can come back and see how badly you’re dogpiled for stating and elaborating an opinion.
A ridiculous opinion. All the survivors of abusive, narcissistic parents can tell you that the only “skin” they have in the game is “what do I get out of it?” Also, childless people have nieces, nephews, children of cousins, friends with kids, etc. They might love and care about those kids as much as any child they might have had themselves. So they do have skin in the game.
I think you underestimate the number of socially isolated or uncaring people who truly have no children in their lives
You definitely underestimate the narcissism of parents. My dad votes for policies that hurt this country and his children. He votes for Republicans that are against women’s rights and trans rights and want to defund support for struggling children in schools. He does not deserve more votes than I do. I’m a socially isolated person with no children and I really don’t care to be around children, but I still vote for their future. Parents do not deserve more votes.
Same. They offered a fair opinion, gave a reason, stated conflicts with their opinion and expressed an openness to other perspectives. The Internet: How dare you think you get more votes! I love it.
So genuinely, how do you expect this to work? Am I supposed to just go upvote every dumb as shit opinion I read on the internet so everyone feels better?
