We could have had Bernie. I can't even imagine how different so many things would have been...

[–] [email protected] 88 points 1 year ago (10 children)

We weren't allowed to have him, some rich people would have slightly less money.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Who do I vote for so rich people can have a lot less money?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

That's the fun part. You can't. They have had studies since the '70s that show that if they'd pay everyone a thriving wage, they'd be even richer than they are. Funny thing, when the working class has disposable income we buy shit. They are no longer interested in their net worth. The new high score is how many people they can kill with needless suffering before we realize that scarcity actually disappeared in the '70s, and everyone should be living their best life, and we decide to kill them back.

I'd be feeding my cat so much more salami.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Never let your cat forget that a better world is possible. ✊🥲

I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary, but at this point I think he would have been destroyed, McGovern-style, if he'd been the nominee either time. He never had to face a truly negative campaign in the primaries and there's no telling how he would have fared if Republicans (and some Democrats!) really twisted the knife with stuff like "the rape essay", his employment history, his association with socialism, etc. We made out so much better with a moderate-seeming guy like Biden who managed to secure most of what Sanders would have been realistically able to pass while giving it a nice centrist sheen.

The polls at the time showed him doing better against Trump than Hillary, given that he would bring out the progressive vote along with the usual dem vote. Which is why him getting railroaded out by the "her turn" group was such a blatant travesty. And why I blame them for Trump getting elected.

People forget that there was a sizable "Bernie or Trump" crowd as well. Essentially people that just want ANY change from the permanent status-quo we've had for the last 30-40 years.

Nah, Bernie could have been great

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It probably would have gone like in the UK where the Labour party smeared Jeremy Corbyn and rather destroyed itself.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bernie being pro-cat even though they can't vote is very in character, standing up for the maginalized

Israel is trying to figure out how to call him anti-Semitic

My cat when it sees me opening the fridge: I am once again asking for your salami support.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is my cat anytime I'm in the kitchen. She thinks that the sole purpose of that entire space is to store her food.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You fail to understand who let who stay where.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Try telling your cat that salami isn't possible because of gridlock in Congress.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

I remember how much this pleased me at the height of Bernie's campaign. :(

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Based Bernie, per usual

Salami seems awfully salty for cats

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They can get hydration out of ocean water. Little sadistic fuckers have really good kidneys. I doubt a small amount of salami will harm them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

And yet the majority of house cats die of Kidney Failure... 🤔

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

That's because wild cats get a lot of their water from their food, and they don't like drinking from stagnant water. Most people only feed their cats dry food and use a water bowl.

When I first got a water fountain for mine, I had to start cleaning the litter box twice as often. They also won't drink out of it if the water isn't running.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They're finely tuned instruments. High octane race cars would be an appropriate example. The majority of those end up "dead" from destroying their engines.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

They need Taurine. May be related ?

Cars can have a little salami

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Salami isn't good for cars.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

But a little is ok

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who are you to judge where I put my salami?

As a treat.

Is she really suggesting cats should only eat processed garbage cat food their whole lives? Reason #744 to support Bernie!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

yeah, my cat deserves a bit of processed salami along side their processed cat food!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All natural salami, picked from the freshest salami trees

Give Bernie a little salami

Cats can absolutely have salami. Only a little though.

For those mentioning salt, cats are not dissimilar to us when it comes to salt. Some is fine, a lot can be very very bad for you.

Keeping in mind that the amount of salt that's okay is going to be a lot less because cats are much much smaller than we are. A low sodium diet for a human, in grams of sodium, would be a lot of sodium for a cat.

With that, a little should be fine. Once in a while.

If cats can eat grass, entire mice, and weirdly even potato chips then I'm pretty sure salami is fine

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cats eat grass to make themselves puke

If I feed my cat salami, that per se makes the salami cat food.
