not legit antinatalists like theyve read Every Cradle is a Grave or anything but it seems like there's a vibe against children that's correlated with being Leftish (and white specifically)

I haven't seen it. Or at least, not in explicit form that you're alluding to here. Maybe it's implicit in some of the political-economic goals of e.g. feminism (though women with careers is now a 100% mainstream view). did I miss something you're referring to?

idk what can i say. some ppl think like this and some don't. i don't have the numbers for it. do you think their blueness is downstream of their attitudes re kids or the other way round? does it particularly matter which way the arrow of causality points

i can imagine this is more pronounced in the US, esp in UMC and UMC-aspirational circles i think probably the attitudes toward kids are downstream of the blueness, maybe 75% confident in this but not certain

this matches my intuition iff we selectively limit "blueness" to UMC yuppies with degrees from prestige universities and bad internet hygiene.
