@micah.harwood: “pro life” state but the vote to feed children lost by less than 1%… we are such an embarrassment of a state 🤦‍♀️ #northdakota #nd #electionday #schoollunch #fargo

꩜ jen ✩ :

like they all complain about their taxes going toward it but 1) that’s not true 2) your taxes are currently going toward funding a WAR & VIOLENCE 3) why WOULDN’T you want your taxes going towards something so beneficial?????

Jamie :

“My kids already get free lunch”

Genuinely astonished at how "All kids deserve to eat!" is deemed controversial 🫩

ᴬˡᵉˣᶜᵉᵗᵃᵐⁱⁿᵒᵖʰᵉⁿ :

I don't go to school anymore since I'm online but living in North Dakota while this is being debated is INSANE my classmates deserve to eat as well as the rest of the state

alex :

The biggest argument I heard was “there are already programs.” I said… sure, but do you think that all the kids that rely on free meals at school have parents who care enough to go out of their way to sign up for those programs??

Green Acre Heaven :

nd people are generally cruel anf greedy at heart

arcane :

I don't know how to explain to these people that it benefits everyone, including them, if we're nice and take care of eachother. it's so simple and they just can't understand it

Zachary Barbee :

keep in mind only 1/3 of eligible voters even cared to vote. it's exhausting

mossy 🌱☘️ :

I just want to shake people and scream in their face "IT FEEDS KIDS!!!!!" Like FUCKKK DAMN it feeds. our babies. it fEEDS CHILDREN. it makes me want to rip my hair out like 😭

zanphetamine :

I’m a leftist and I don’t think that there should be free school lunches, first of all, because regardless of what is being used to fund the venture now, is not always guaranteed to be available to fund it, all spending is infinitely harder to stop that it is to start, and this sort of gotcha strawman purity test bullshit ignores real sound logic like maybe the money would be better spent on making education better? Like, attacking the actual structural issues that cause kids to not be able to afford lunches instead of saying, well let’s just make it free. Making school lunches free is the midwit option, the idiots and the people who know way better both don’t want it.

As a HS congressional debater, we had this topic in our chambers in October. I’d like you all to know the majority of the houses FAILED the bill. If you research the topic the way we do, it’ll make a lot of sense. :)

the wizard of loneliness💙 :

alex :

This state is like Alabama lite
