Pete Buttigieg on JD Vance’s harmful comments about which Americans have a stake in the future.

My adult kid has chosen not to have children. She works with autistic children and is helping care for her nephews. How is that not caring and working towards the country’s future?

[amybrown]

I did not give birth to any children but I raised a step daughter and I helped educate about 100 students every year for the last 25 years. That is a lot of commitment to this country, more than Vance has made.

I'm 65 and when I first heard about Pete I said "too young, not enough experience, etc". Then he started to speak and I've been listening ever since. His ability to articulate in a stripped down manner are amazing. Hope to see him in the White House.

I’m a 53 yro female, no kids. I served in Iraq, specifically Fallujah, where it was normal for 14-18 RPG’s to hit our tiny base every single night and people being sniped on the road to our gate. I have served my country for 20 years but Vance says I have no value…he and the Cheeto are perfect for each other.

JD Vance just insulted likely well over half of our military with that comment

[Skzzlemister]

Even if Pete doesn’t get the nod for vp this time, he’s going to be a great president someday.

I don’t have kids, but I have planted hundreds of trees and butterfly patches for other humans and animals to enjoy after I’m gone 🌳🦋

[pauletteriddle]

Thank you for your service to this country. I want him as VP!

[kokokyoushi]

Americans who do not have kids and who physically live in the country, definitely have a stake in it. We all do, which is why we cannot afford to put 45 and vance in office.

[M.M.D.]

I taught for 35 years in an inner city high school. I do not have children of my own, but every child that sat in front of me was care for and educated by me. I worried about them and was vested in their future. Vance has no idea what he’s talking about.

[JaciPink]

Eloquent Pete! Well done. I would like to say a "thank you" for your service.

[lmak-rffn]

I have a physical commitment to my fellow Vets and citizens! I want to work with everyone for a better stronger country! I love you America!

[mc]

He wanted to say "f---ing" so badly.

[Stackieob]

Healthcare & mental health workers, first responders, teachers, etc. Particularly the childless workers in these fields that CONSTANTLY do coverage for their coworkers w/kids because we get it. I’d say that’s a lot of physical & mental investment

[willgibson]

That’s as close as I’ve seen Pete get to being too angry to make his point smoothly, and I’m here for it.

[Drobo]

People with no children get taxed more and receive less in tax returns. No child credit tax. No higher education tax creador either.

[Tboudreaux]

Well said Pete❤ Thank you for your service sir.💪

[atomm]

As a never trump republican, I find myself liking Pete more and more. I remember watching all the right wing outlets criticizing him but when I actually listen to what he says, he’s articulate, charismatic, and genuine.

[kennedyrose]

Unbelievable how repubs separate everyone into a separate container..WHO ARE THESE WEIRDO'S!!

[danahashcroft]

Not american but i love this man and want him to keep having leadership roles
