I love it! 👏👏👏

Every dollar in SNAP benefits generates about $1.80 in economic activity. When people use SNAP at grocery stores, that money circulates in the community. It helps pay workers’ wages, covers rent and utilities for local businesses, and supports farms and food suppliers. In some rural communities, SNAP purchases can make up 20% of a store’s sales. If those benefits are cut back or interrupted, small grocery stores in these areas may be forced to close. When that happens, entire communities can lose their only nearby place to buy food. While this program that supports poor and working-class communities is being choked off, the Pentagon budget–which concentrates money in a small circle of giant military corporations–is expanding rapidly. That is not a sign of economic confusion. It is a sign of deliberate class policy.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Sorry you have to deal with that and the aftereffects.

Did you attend any. meetings? What makes them worse than standard fare?

I’m not negating you, the website just doesn’t shed much light on what makes them different.

They don’t even give us that.

No.

“Troglodyte” might work.

My Breitbart-reading community member who learned maga was coming for his insurance subsidies damned sure isn’t impressed that the Dems rolled over.

I don’t think the dnc is worth saving. Snarling wolves and smiling foxes analogy. But I bet a good SWP candidate like De La Cruz is absolutely worth fighting for.

I have been having RL conversations with neighbors, who have everything to lose and are extremely loss adverse, with their heads barely above water. "If we don’t hold our own accountable and show them they’re replaceable, why would they court our votes and not the racists?” Most hear me out. One thinks I’m maga.

Idk I know people don’t always understand the implications when picking their user names, even if they do hold fascist views. And sometimes they do.

Upgrade for sometimes free shipping, deliverable to any address. And car insurance prices with that membership are much better than anything else I’ve been quoted.

No one seems to mind purity testing third party candidates.

And the global South.

Staff Sergeant?

And how many votes did all of the third parties get? not even enough to make a difference to a fart in the wind.

Moreover, Dems sued to keep the Socialist Workers’ Party candidate, Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot – but only in swing states. They knew they were selling a cold crap sandwich, and rather than change the message, they courted the far Reich wing.

They can not withstand criticism of what they’ve come to associate their identity with. It’s always that you just need to get in behind the party, no matter how bad the parties ideas are.

I see them as a mix of that, and loss aversion "FU I got mine!” voters. Rather than work to build up and promote a better candidate, they will absolutely push their drowning kindred under the water to keep themselves afloat.

They don’t care. And when Reich Wing Lite loses to full - blown Reich Wing, they will cling bitterly to the idea it was people who envision better, for more of us and work for it, rather than take it for the data points from which to learn and envision better for everyone, and blame this who have the vision, grit, and gumption to work for it.

Fortune favors the bold. And rich.

Does that mean no more supporting genocide?

"no u!” please.

During the presidential election, people considering third parties were dv’d to oblivion, Blue MAGA shouting that it wasn’t the time. Guess what happens now every time someone suggests finding, running and supporting third party candidates?
