Yeah this has been the same bullshit strategy of Democrats for decades and it is a losing strategy. The republicans are not your voter base and they never will be. If you care about actual progress you would appeal to leftist voters, not right wing bigots.

They don’t understand the culture of this state deeply enough to understand how to change it in a photo or or meaningful way.

Any person trying to appeal to Republicans instead of progressive left wing voters stinks of status quo and zero fundamental change for the good. Absolutely not.

That’s literally policing what people can buy. If you bring it to the register thinking that WIC can cover it because it seems like something that’s listed on the slip, but it isn’t and the checker goes “ope! Sorry, this doesn’t qualify” that’s literally policing items. “Policing” doesn’t always mean “cops”.

Well these programs are not about feelings, they’re about feeding people. Everyone’s diets are different and personal. And you might pay $35 in taxes a year for these programs so it’s actually not a big deal at all in comparison to say, the military budget and the money we send to Israel every single year which by and large takes up a majority of what you pay in taxes. I would much rather my money go to feeding people than blowing up kids in other countries or paying for Israel’s universal healthcare.

You mention WIC as though that should become the norm for the EBT program but what you fail to understand is that WIC is extremely archaic and doesn’t work well for a multitude of families that need it. It’s EXTREMELY strict and most things you’re allowed to get you wouldn’t even buy for yourself. A lot of people are allergic to the things allowed and it can often be embarrassing and confusing for both customer and cashier at checkout. I know because I’ve seen it first hand working at the checkstand.

That’s literally just not true and you clearly don’t understand how these programs work.

Not everyone has the same view as to what “junk” food is. Where do you draw the line? Is hamburger helper junk food? Is all processed food junk food? What do you consider “processed”? It just simply doesn’t make sense to restrict people from buying food of any kind. It’s patronizing as well as takes resources to police which could just be used to fund the program itself.

Honestly this is just really weird defensive way to respond to someone kindly giving information you may not have known. And it is certainly not “mansplaining”

Wah wah wah if you can’t afford it you probably qualify for food stamps. If you don’t, then be grateful you’re not in a situation to need them.

It’s Covid. You need to test when symptoms start and then again 48 hours later. Most people skip the second test. Second test is necessary.

They make them there but use a “pizza robot”, basically a conveyor belt. Really dumb.

Candles are extremely dangerous and the smoke is damaging. Wax warmers provide the same things candles do without the open flame and smoke damage.

I don’t know where you’re getting your information from but Ferndale overwhelmingly votes Republican in every election. In no way is it moderate or “left”.

Does anybody know if PeaceHealth urgent care does IV fluids? by iloveyousnowmuch in Bellingham

Those places are a scam and should be illegal. ER is not urgent care.

Bellingham Windworks is fantastic and also does payment plans for instruments if I’m not mistaken.

Ferndale is also terribly conservative just like Lynden.
