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

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 88 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

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

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years 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.

[-] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years 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.

[-] ECB@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 years ago

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

[-] mashbooq@infosec.pub 25 points 2 years ago

Based Bernie, per usual

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago

Salami seems awfully salty for cats

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

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.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years 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.

Guys can we stop getting political at the dinnertable

Cars can have a little salami

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Salami isn't good for cars.

[-] 3rdwrldbathhaus@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

But a little is ok

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Who are you to judge where I put my salami?

As a treat.

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

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

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

All natural salami, picked from the freshest salami trees

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Much healthier than ham from the ham mines.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Give Bernie a little salami

[-] bfg9k@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago
[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] blahsay@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

Cats don’t handle salt well, they have very sensitive kidneys.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Their kidneys are super efficient, but that also makes them fragile. Kidney failure is the leading cause of death for cats. It’s better not to put them under unnecessary stress.
