    If you don’t realise how supporting a politician who defunds school lunches is an active statement that childen shouldn’t be fed, then your cause-and-effect detector is broken.

      I’m not falling for that, I know the games legislators play with bundling shit into a bill so that anyone who votes for/against it based on one part is now declared as being firmly for/against everything in it, because ‘they voted for/against it’.

      And what you’re saying here takes it a step further than that, by taking it beyond a bill to “supporting a politician”. So let’s say a politician makes it so that hospitals have to be more transparent about itemizing things on their bills. Okay, I support that, and say so. But now people like you come along and say that I’m “supporting a politician who” and then name all sorts of shit I said nothing about supporting.

      No.

        • Vote for a politician who defunds school lunch programmes
        • Children go hungry
        • ???
        • I did not vote for children to go hungry, Bill Riders said I’m not responsible

        Yeah, your cause-and-effect detector is busted as fuck. Sorry little buddy, good luck fixing it.
