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?
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.

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.
You're right in the first part, but their motivation is power. Money is just a very good way to obtain power. Cruelty isn't the point, it's just the fastest way to get money and thus power.

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.
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
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
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.
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.
Who are you to judge where I put my salami?
I'm not judging. I like warm salami too.
But a little is ok
How about Cars 2

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.
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.
Give Bernie a little salami
as a treat
If cats can eat grass, entire mice, and weirdly even potato chips then I'm pretty sure salami is fine

If I feed my cat salami, that per se makes the salami cat food.
My cat when it sees me opening the fridge: I am once again asking for your salami support.
