J. D. Vance's Attack on the 'Childless Left' - The Atlantic

 … a political conversation that favors kids has to take children as its subject. This current discourse does not. Instead, it's concerned with adults, and the decisions, personal or political, that cause them to opt into or out of parenthood. This much is especially clear in Vance's rhetoric, which identifies the "childless left" as the source of America's woes, and suggests meting out more votes to parents to right those putative wrongs. In Domenech's view, too, the trouble isn't so much that the left has lined up policies that demonstrably harm children, but that the adults of the left seem attitudinally opposed to fertility and parenthood. These people, one infers—single, Millennial dog mommies living in urban apartments and stumping for liberal causes—are the problem, and the solution is to disempower them in one way or another. That goal is primary; the kids and their needs are way downstream of the problematic adults and their proposed successors.
