Are Democrats really more likely to be childless cat ladies?
WaPo ^ | 02 Aug 2024 | Andrew Van Dam

By now, you’re probably aware Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance has described Democrats as “childless cat ladies” with no “direct stake” in America’s future. We, on the other hand, have been ears-deep in data. ...

About 38 percent of Democrats had never had children as of 2022, compared with 26 percent of Republicans, according to the universally beloved General Social Survey from the universally beloved NORC at the University of Chicago....

... in recent years, Democrats have become a bit more likely to be childless no matter their age. In fact, they’re more likely to be childless across almost every demographic....

The shift has been most pronounced among young women, particularly those under age 35, who make up a fast-rising share of the Democratic coalition. That means we should probably acknowledge the elephant in the room. And by “elephant,” we mean “cat.”...

Actually, Cat Ladies has little to do with it. Being Childless Spinsters is the real group. Having cats is merely a sub group of the spinsters.

Oh and calling them spinsters is like using the N word with Blacks

TVs are cheap at Walmart. You might want to check with Kitty to see which one she prefers to have for her own.

47 million households have cats and millions more would if they could.

DEFINITELY!! Democrats love CATS and Republicans love DOGS!! Not that they can’t ever be reversed, but the majority is this.

I don’t know about that but I would say that most DIMocRATs despise Free America and Free Americans. Also, they are sociopaths.

A Bit?!? Nearly 50% more likely is far more than a “bit”.

You have intuited the trend of things between me and my cat. I am already at the point of catering to his on demand menu choice of kibble or tuna fish, with a cat nip flavor treat as an appetizer.

I get it. At one point we had eight. Five were rescued ferals (fixed and brought inside). It was a chore for us to keep the house in tip-top shape (Hubby is OCD), but we did it.

When we sold the house, people who came to look at it had no clue we had ANY cats, per our realtor.

I usually cooked a chicken and gave my cat Trevor the dark meat and then the white meat I didn’t get to eat.

He had the strange idea that clawing my leg would get him fed faster.

I think we figured it out.

Liberal women don’t get married because they have Uncle Sugar to pay the bills.

They don’t have kids so they raise no barrier to illegal immigration. Since they don’t have kids of their own they can’t imagine the trauma suffered by women and children victims of human trafficking. No sympathy, no empathy.

Don’t mince words! Tell us what you really think! ;-)

The conciseness of your reply made my ribs hurt.

Yes, they will self-exterminate, but uphold policies that hurt families on their way.

“Democrats have become a bit more likely to be childless no matter their age.”

Childless AND alien to all the nurturing sympathies which accompany it.

Was at Universal Studies in Orlando a couple years ago with my family. Standing in LONG lines. Youngest child was crying but not for uncooperative reasons. The disgusted, what-is-this-thing looks I noticed on the ~15-35 year old girls (many of whom dressed like sex objects) made my heart ache. I saw exactly one teenage girl bend her head with a let-me-help expression.

Speaking of Trump's sense of humor.

I was reminded the other day about how Trump was insulted a journalist (female) who told him that his hair looked like a wet raccoon.

Trump said (I paraphrase), "You know the difference between a wet raccoon and Donald J Trump's hairdo?"

"A wet raccoon doesn't have 6 billion dollars."

My cat is similar. Fresh cooked chicken is his absolute favorite. Otherwise, he paws me on the arm lightly with his claws out when he wants to go out, to eat, to be petted, or for me to finally go to bed.
