Odds & ends for the weekend

“...my kids keep me humble,” Ms. Sanders said. Then, mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris’s name, she added, “Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping [her] humble.”

...there are lots of voters out there whom these kinds of comments could alienate. That’s not just the 22 million women between 20 and 39 who don’t have children, but also the many stepparents and stepchildren... A 2015 Pew Research Center study found that 16 percent of children live in blended families. The logical extension of Vance’s and now Sanders’s comments is that these people have less to offer the country and a lack of perspective and humility.

And it’s not as if people like childless cat ladies are voters Republicans can just write off; an Ipsos study released last week showed they are only slightly less Republican than voters overall.
Have a good weekend!  :)
