No one should feel stigmatized for utilizing a food bank.
100% of the stigma belongs to the people who have created a world where food banks are a necessity.

Your comment is completely detached from the actual discussion.

Of course we want people to change for the better.

Kudos to every former Abu Ghraib guard with a Nazi tattoo & a history of homophobic/misogynistic comments that has reformed for the better.

I still wouldn’t vote for them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

BREAKING: Today, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum opened all 1.56 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing. These lands are sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, home to irreplaceable wildlife and wilderness, and have never seen industrialization.

See this is the problem with assholes like this. He posts something critical of Democrats then gets thousands of comments debunking what he said completely. But then 12 hours later he still has the post up and ironically enough it's about bad messaging. This is the actual problem. He is the problem.

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

We do. But just an FYI, that thing you’re describing is itself prejudice and bigotry. Which is also a big problem.

If you’ve bought into the whole “corp dem” nonsense, your brain has been washed and you have no ability to see what is going on clearly. Maybe work on that and then start sharing your analysis. 👍

Dead Monkey @zfiendy.bsky.social · 11h

This is completely detached from reality. I’d write you a 30 post thread on how and why you’re wrong… but you’re in Australia. Maybe f**k off with your ignorant takes on American politics. 👍

Dead Monkey @zfiendy.bsky.social · 11h

So sick of the “wish the Dems would say X” posts when the Dems are saying X and the poster could just have easily said X instead of making all their messaging anti-Dem.

It’s really the dumbest crap in the world. It only helps the GOP. Doesn’t accomplish anything else.

Yeah, a shame we can’t elect more young people with horrible judgment and terrible views. They’re exactly what the country needs.

Then again, Maine has like 1.4 million residents. There’s bound to be at least one other young person. 🤔

My point exactly. You know that something’s happening, but you don’t know what it is.

If every major legacy news organization in the U.S. grew a new pair, stopped thinking about money and the FCC, and started reporting, this presidency would be over.

Politics 2025: people sharing how they can’t understand why something is important if it isn’t important to them.

A whole political class with the journalistic instincts of Dylan’s Mr. Jones.

"Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner admits doing everything wrong his entire life in an indefensible way in unearthed routine background check that should have been done before he grifted millions of dollars from gullible idiots just because he trashes Democrats while he pretends to run as one."

If you can’t denounce nazi symbols, misogyny, and homophobia, you’re not really against them.

It’s an easy bar. Instead of arguing, ask yourself why Bernie is ok with it. Ask yourself why you’re ok with it.

There’s 1.4 million people in Maine. Find another candidate. Lots of time left. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thought the marines uniform policy stated you couldn’t get an extremist symbol tattoo while serving.

So in (supposed) ignorance you broke the marine code and you want to be a senator.

You’re just a distraction now. Go do something else.

Give a real apology and drop out.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Chuck Schumer was in Croatia the day Platner got it and apparently he told Platner it was a cool looking pirate tattoo.

People really need to wrap their heads around HOW ATTENUATED our election cycles have gotten.

They're acting like the Maine primary was a race between Platner and Mills only and it's too late for anyone else to jump in.

The deadline to REGISTER FOR IT is in MARCH!

Go out and recruit SOMEONE ELSE

I swear there’s something in how computers break everything down to 1s and 0s that makes computer users do the same.

An always online nation devolving to all-or-nothing thinking.

“If you don’t accept Nazi symbol guy you’ll only accept angelic beings ordained by heaven.”

Nothing to do with trust. Gov official using an account to discuss govt actions or communicate with constituents CANNOT block you.

@aoc.bsky.social needs to unblock everyone on those lists.

Dead Monkey @zfiendy.bsky.social · 1d

Saw you on one of his lists. Thought the list would make a good starter pack of left leaning accounts with logical takes.

Sky has all the signs of a bad actor. Interesting that AOC follows that account. 🤔
