    Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested on Sunday night that people should consider not having children due to climate change because there is a "scientific consensus" that life will be hard for kids.

    "Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around and so it's basically like, there's a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult," Ocasio-Cortez said while chopping up food in her kitchen during an Instagram live video. "And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, 'Is it okay to still have children?'"

    I actually agree with her. The world is grossly overpopulated and the idea of bringing the issue of population reduction to the public attention makes sense. When it comes to the point where overpopulation begins to adversly affect living standards for everyone, it is time to have a intelegent publilc debate.

    Obviously not, with world population approaching 8 billion and growing expeditiously. We are depleting the oceans, and over polluting our environment. There is a limit to how many people this rock can comfortably support. The wealthy want to grow population until we are all living in Bangladesh standards, I would prefer to live in a less populated world with a high standard of living.

    There is a reason Canada is sparely populated, it sucks. Eventually though, even Canada will be over run, probably with Africans and Indians as they have the largest birth rates and their countries are not capable of supporting them.

    There are geographical areas all over the planet where overpopulation just isn't a problem.

    Plus.....Space is the final frontier. Plenty of space.....just sayin.

    Yes they will. It is part of the globalist agenda. One step in overthrowing self determination is to distroy nationalism. To distroy nationalism it is necessary to distroy the culture, and mass immigration is the way you do that. The people who are taking over the world are not stupid, they know exactly how to achive their agenda.

    It would be funny, except that a lot of Democratic-Socialists agree with the crap she says.

    I don't really care what some right wing trash blog says about an Congresswoman who hasn't been in office for 60 days.

    Malthusians unite... huh? Ok get your tubes cut. Feel better about yourself. Leave the rest of us alone. I never understand this position from progressives. It's like, suddenly, science doesn't matter, survival of the fittest doesn't matter, and they collapse into knee hugging heaps of goo waiting for their ends....

    Except that this isn't what they really want. They just want (like the invaders in Independence day) everyone else to die. Because they are special, and the rest of the folks they hate, are not. Every time folks chime in of the overpopulation conversation, notice it isn't ever anything that they have to do, but the other folks must.

    Have you ever noticed the link between intelligence and a persons propensity to make assumptions. Overpopulation is not a political issue, it is an undeniable fact. It is also an undeniable fact that the problem is most prevalent in country's which cannot support their populations and where poverty is systemic. Those populations are now mass immigrating to wealthier countries where they are straining social systems and changing politics and culture of the host countries.

    I'd be careful about calling intelligence into question here, just some advice. You have an opinion. Clearly, as we can and do support the current population, we have not reached over population, have we? Fundamentally, you're opinion is provably incorrect.

    The more interesting part of your post, though, is your assertion that "[sic] "country's" which cannot support their populations" etc. So, you do ascribe the everyone but me theory, huh? Human genocide because you think you're above it, and the rest of the poor schmucks, well too bad. You sound like that Mengele guy. I would point out that if folks are leaving, they are migrating, not "immigrating" which is the process of receiving, not of entering.. but hey, why be accurate?

    And isn't the last sentence really your qualm? That somehow those dastardly "others" will take a piece of your pie? How selfish can one person get?

    If you do not think we have reached the point of overpopulation then you are woefully ignorant of the facts.

    Mindlessly repeating your false narrative isn't going to make you more credible. Just sayin... And for the record, how are you proposing to "depopulate" the world again? And what position of privilege do you assume for yourself in your plan?

    Changing public policies to make it financially advantageous to have smaller families should work. So far as false narrative, lake Mead is drying up because Las Vegas population is too large for the water supply. The level of the Great Lakes is dropping due to excessive water withdrawal. The US now exports millions of tons of garbage to other countries because our landfills are nearly all full. Fishing fleets world wide are struggling because the oceans are being rapidly depleted of fish. Farmland is being converted to housing tracks so fast that the US is becoming dependent on imports to feed itself. I could go on for pages but the facts are well known and undeniable except to the hopelessly ignorant. Just how long do you think this kind of population growth is sustainable just so the wealthy elite can continue to prosper from it? How long before we begin wars to obtain whatever resources are left?
    Personally I have no dog in the fight, it will not make any difference to me if in 20yrs, there are no more clean water, social programs, or jobs to support the ever growing homeless unemployed populations. Just sayin....

    Hmmm... so should we slam the border shut? I mean, we're already over capacity in the US... right? You're a "build the wall" kind of guy?

    Most all of the ideas AOC espouses deserves/requires an intelligent public debate. Unfortunately, it's something most Trumpers find abhorrent and avoid like the plague.
