A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Gotta say I hate that. I get these shills are playing the long game, but in the end, this is the same bullshit that got us in this predicament in the first place - vote for one because the other is worse!! We will never progress with that hanging over our heads.
Yeah, I despise the two-party system. Protest voting won't magically give us the democracy we deserve. It has to be done on a small scale, local and state level. It's gotta be organized. Governors are particularly invulnerable to this two-party bullshit, and that is I believe why a few states have Ranked Choice Voting now.
And actually voters aren't to blame. The founding fathers understood what they were doing to our democracy, and them saying a two party system must not be established was probably more of a dogwhistle that it should be done immediately because it will work.
some of the founders were outspoken in their support of a two-party system. you don't seem to know as much as you pretend.
edit: or you're lying.
Which is horrifying recklessness on the part of Democrats. "Be happy with 'not fascist' because that's the best we're willing to do" only has to fail once.
