in the meantime, bribes have been used, repeatedly, publicly, over and over, to try to get people to vote gop

Fact: Republicans use tax cuts for the wealthy as a bribe to get the wealthy to support them. And the tax cuts for the wealthy mean less dollars for food shelves and other programs.

Fact: Democrats don't even bother trying to bribe their voters. They just tell them to shut up and eat shit. There is no food on the shelves for people, they sent the money to Israel so they could turn tiny children into the mushy contents of plastic bags.

Not saying you’re wrong about sending stuff to Israel, but they didn’t send them money. They sent them guns that had the equivalent value of money.

I don’t support it, but don’t spread misinformation

There's no need to split hairs, it's the same thing. And for they gave them both - money and weapons. Get away calling it misinformation.

Maybe if you had food stamps you were required to vote… Otherwise, just like every demographic, we don’t have 100% voting attendance…

I’m ON food stamps(SNAP). I currently receive less than $70 in benefits a month. Some bribe, lol. 😂😭

Myth: democrats support food stamps because they believe the state should take an active and aggressive role in ending food insecurity

Fact: democrats do not support food stamps

lotts.bsky.social•1 day ago

Democrats do not support poor people eating period.

As a food stamp recipient, I should tell republicans this ...if you prefer low crime rates, don't take away our access to food. Vote Democrat.

Which is why they keep losing. Instead, they insist on gargling Republican balls in the name of “bipartisanship.”

fpardalis.bsky.social•1 day ago

No. Democrats use food stamps to buy weed. Then we dream we have civil rights.

liberallysa.bsky.social•1 day ago

Please explain how food stamps buys weed.

fpardalis.bsky.social•1 day ago

That was a joke, but barter was the first transaction.

The US uses food stamps the same way, and for the much the same reasons, that vodka, cigarettes and bread are practically given away in Russia.

liberalbillsfan.bsky.social•1 day ago

More % of Republicans are on food stamps than Democrats so that doesnt really make sense

supramortal.bsky.social•21 hours ago

8 out of the top ten states that rely on federal assistance are Red states. It really is an amazing phenomenon how Republican voters consistently vote against their best interests.
