    I think you underestimate the number of socially isolated or uncaring people who truly have no children in their lives

      I think you underestimate the number of narcissistic, abusive parents who don’t care about their children except for how those children will do something to benefit them.

      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.
