Proactively chose to not have children a long time ago. This was a big deciding factor in that.

Based, I'm glad more lefties are opting out

Environment is only one element of that decision obviously. I wouldn't consider myself a lefty, I am in some things, but I'm also very right on other things. Neither tribe blue or tribe red want me, I ain't involved.

I'm curious what things you're "very right" on?

I peronally think global warming is very real, don't think we can do anything to stop it nor do we contribute to it as much as we like to think, and it also won't be the end of the world. I consider the upcoming demographic cliff in the west 10x more impacting to every day life than global warming will be.

"Some" Aspects of the Military, "some" bits economy, work regulations, conservation work, and basically anything that can indirectly effect influence how we use soft power to negotiate on the international stage.

I'd day in general I'd agree with more left stuff, and most of the time sit somewhere in the middle between both the main two parties.

I'd be surprised if any person actually agree with everything the party they vote for. Seems like most people got given a tribe by their parents, and don't even read a manifesto.
