Time for nuclear option

@Mountainlady16 Well the GOP wants to ban school meals and deny SNAP for low income children so they are going to get a knife in the back too.

Talk about voting against your own interests.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow no they dont they are in fact the new snap policies only apply to adults without children or with children that are old enough to stay alone while their parents work. The shutdown has nothing to do with ebt anyway its bout the dems wanting go keep a Healthcare system that a failure

@Mountainlady16

Our healthcare system is a failure, but healthcare providers reported record profits of over $71 billion dollars in 2024. So where is the failure, other than Americans not getting enough for their money?

@Mountainlady16 Who told you that, Trump?

And I guess starving some poor people is somehow more moral to you?

And the school lunches they are trying to ban are separate.

I don't remember Jesus helping people based on party affiliation or arbitrary bureaucratic categories. In fact he preached the opposite.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow theres no proof about school lunches trying to ban and its the dems that are refusing fo vote to pass the bill so the fs can be distributed as far as Healthcare goes the aca the subsidies that arr trying to get rid of is the emergency ones that biden put in place during covid. Just liks those big unemployment checks they were sending out during covid u leftist oncs u get something u dont want to let it go

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow you're candian what u know about our system

Btw its schumer and his minions that have now voted 14 times not to reope. Tbe governmentits them letting the poor go hungry@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

@Mountainlady16 Legislation and the blueprint for the entire administration is not proof? Blind loyalty is all I see here.

Those ACA subsidies are all that is keeping premiums in mostly red states from skyrocketing.

And the ACA has nothing to do with COVID. That is just factually wrong.

I guess you are willing to bankrupt your family on some right wing ideological talking point? That is a choice. And there are no leftists in power in the US.

Being Canadian doesn't make me unable to read.


And sadly Republicans are living proof that you can live in the USA and have no idea what is going on around you.


And the only people letting the poor go hungry are the GOP. Trump even bragged he is using the shutdown as an excuse to do just that and fire anyone who is not a blind MAGA loyalist.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow the subsidies in question are extra ones put in place during covid its not all subsidies. And my family's health insurance is employer provdided not a marketplace plan. Also there are leftist in power in the us they are tbe ones refusing to vote to pass the bill to reopen the government because the senate needs a 60 vote majority for the bill in question.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow and schumer and multiple other dems said that oh well ppl might go hungry but cant let their leverage go

@Mountainlady16 Seriously? All insurance in the US is for profit "free market" products. Whether you get it through work is totally irrelevant.


No, there are no leftists in power in the US. Leftist means something. Leftist is not everyone to the left of Pinochet.

The Democrats are objectively not leftists.

Let me know when Chuck Schumer starts demanding the public control of the means of production and then we can talk about leftists.



And you are just making stuff up. Trump is the only reason why people will starve. In fact a judge had to force him not to starve people.


You blindly follow a man who is literally the polar opposite of what Christians claim to be about.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow leftist in the us and canada obviously means different things than a leftist here is a liberal just like right wing ppl such as myself are conservative im in fact an ultraconservative prob the opposite of schumer and his cronies. The plan we get donest get subsidies is what i mean. Muly husband pays 600 dollars 300 out dach his biweekly checks for it

@Mountainlady16 Your cult leader Trump in his own words said SNAP would not be paid out unless he got his own way on Truth Social.

I haven't been to church in awhile but I missed the bit when Jesus advocated weaponizing hunger to get your way.

@Mountainlady16 Pretending the US doesn't have a poverty and hunger issue is just denial. The US leads the world in child poverty.

And food banks have never in history been sufficient. That is literally why SNAP and other food programs exist in the first place.


And we get it. You already have said the healthcare price hikes don't effect you so you don't care/

That has nothing to do with the Dems.

The only reason why those subsidies are being axed is because Trump is a man child who cancels anything that was not his idea even if it hurts people. And especially if a black man came up with the idea.

And the ACA has nothing to do with single payer healthcare. It never has.

And the only people going without healthcare are Americans who die for no reason because they dared to get sick and were not rich.


The US doesn't have healthcare. It is a for profit scam that only makes people like Trump rich and nothing else.

And you vote for that.

It is because of conservatives that the US is behind the entire developed world in healthcare.

The number of Americans who die every year because they cannot afford healthcare is around 50 000.

Medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy.


The number of people who go bankrupt in Canada because of medical bills is 0.

Ditto in every other developed nation.

You blindly support the people who keep the American system broken and a for profit scam.

I don't remember Jesus asking for cash up front.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow what is the number of candians who die due to the government thinking theyre not worth saving or that get severe forms of nonlife threatening illnesses because they think dont think they need to hurry to get them seen. i know my disease the number of ppl with the most severe form is higher in canada because the longer it goes untreated the more likely a person will have the most severe form because it progresses quickly untreated. As for the ebt its because the dems refuse to pass a bill it has even been suggested to do a seperate bill to fund ebt and the dems refused it

@Mountainlady16 That is easy. 0. The government doesn't decide anything about treatment and never have.

But that is what American insurance companies do hourly. Sentence people to death because it is profitable.

We don't leave things untreated because we don't need to take out a loan to go to the doctor.

And you clearly will do anything to blindly support your cult leader Trump.

@Mountainlady16 Fun fact. Red states like Texas have stopped counting the number of women who die in childbirth because the optics look bad.

The US is the only country that seems determined to increase child birth mortality rates and bankrupt new parents if they both survive with a $30 000 bill.

It does line up with Conservative ideology though. Make it so only wealthy (and almost exclusively white people) can even have children and punish those who do that aren't wealthy.

economic eugenics is a right wing idea. Actually all eugenics were conservative ideas.

@Mountainlady16 And yet you don't make the connection of who is making food more expensive for you?????????????????
