cats can't vote in the primaries

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

We weren't allowed to have him, some rich people would have slightly less money.
- Who do I vote for so rich people can have a lot less money?
- Ohhh fuck thats right I forgot my oligarchal overloads for a minute
- They'd actually have more money. They've had studies since the mid '70s that proved that if they'd just pay everyone a thriving wage, they would be richer than they are. This makes perfect sense when you realize that the entire system is designed to funnel money up to them.
  
  Cruelty is the point. They aren't going for the high score of net worth, or bank account numbers. They are going for a literal body count. They're intentionally causing needless suffering, because they know we passed the point of scarcity in the '70s, so once we finally fix this shit no human, or animal that we interact with, will needlessly suffer ever again. They are intentionally trying to destroy the climate so they can keep their power, and continue needless human suffering.
- Sanders lost by over 1000 delegates or around ~3,700,000 out of ~30,000,000 total voters.
  
  He lost pretty heavily in most populous states.

I'd be feeding my cat so much more salami.
- 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.
- Nah, Bernie could have been great
- It probably would have gone like in the UK where the Labour party smeared Jeremy Corbyn and rather destroyed itself.

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.

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.
- You fail to understand who let who stay where.
Try telling your cat that salami isn't possible because of gridlock in Congress.

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

Salami seems awfully salty for cats

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.
- And yet the majority of house cats die of Kidney Failure... 🤔
- Oh I doubt it will do much of anything. But it's probably not the best thing to give them.
  
  So both candidates are right imo.
Cars can have a little salami
- Salami isn't good for cars.
- How about Cars 2
Cats are pretty salty tho.

Based Bernie, per usual

As a treat.

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

yeah, my cat deserves a bit of processed salami along side their processed cat food!
All natural salami, picked from the freshest salami trees
- Much healthier than ham from the ham mines.

Give Bernie a little salami

as a treat

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

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

Cats eat grass to make themselves puke
- I'm not sure I've seen that correlation in mine. Cats are weird! 😂
Cats don’t handle salt well, they have very sensitive kidneys.
- They can get hydration out of ocean water. They have excellent kidneys. They're literally one of the only mammals on land that can drink salt water, and get hydrated. They are extremely specialized to desert environments.
- Blood is salty. How does that work with a carnivore diet?
My SO's cat used to eat fries.

RIP Zora, you were a weirdo, and we loved you for it.
- I used to have a cat with pterodactyly and he would grab French fries in his little fist to eat them. That guy loved French fries.

thought that was kate mckinnon playing liz warren at first
