I find some of the ideas hilarious. The meat companies won’t try to sabotage a candidate’s campaign just because he or she doesn’t eat meat unless they want to actually hurt the meat industry or something like that. What’s next, is the porn industry going to sabotage candidates who don’t watch porn? :rolleyes::dubious:
