These statements are one of my least favorite styles of argument; completely disingenuous, and using phrasing to essentially beg the question, and then argue for the exact opposite of what you claim to be doing.
Let people decide for themselves.
That's what this does! The government buying people soda with my money without my choice was the lack of letting people decide for themselves.
...force needy Americans into not buying certain things.
Same issue. Individuals don't buy things via SNAP, taxpayers buy things for people, at gunpoint. Also, no one "needy" needs a fucking soda.
Let people think and decide for themselves.
Yes. They can decide for themselves if they want to buy a soda. With their money.
Violation of personal choice.
Nope, again, this is a (partial) rollback of violation of personal choice, by the government.
The government needs to stop over regulation what American can or cannot do.
Correct, but that's not what's happening here. You. Can. Still. Buy. Soda.
THE GOVERNMENT (TAXPAYERS) PAYING FOR YOUR SHIT IS NOT A HUMAN RIGHT.
Remember when NYC tried this and it completely backfired?
No, because they didn't. They tried something completely different, that was actually retarded government overreach that actually infringed on personal choice. They tried to tell people what they could buy with their own money.
This whole pile of bullshit is right out of a lefty playbook. It's the argument they use with abortion, troons in the military and, probably the most apt comparison, "book bans."
Let me say it again:
THE GOVERNMENT (TAXPAYERS) PAYING FOR YOUR SHIT IS NOT A HUMAN RIGHT.
Many leftists on a fundamental level believe the government is their master. You don't have money, the government has money it allows you to use. They see food stamps as free money. They're serfs, mentally.

I don’t get how they don’t see the distinction with buying it with their own money vs using the taxpayers money
They're an influence pushing company. They don't care about pesky little things like facts, they care if they can convince the average dumbass.
"Is it true?" doesn't factor into it. "Will it sell?" is the only question that matters.
