    Meme is like saying politics doesn’t work. Reckon with the consequences of your vote. It’s a two party first past the post system. The math is not that complicated. Be honest about it.

      Yeah, this post trying to pass the blame onto people who correctly recognize the consequences of the design of our electoral system seems shortsighted, but these are American voters after all.

        It also assumes that the politics of whoever is reading it has “popular” policies. The country is very divided on what’s “popular”. The first step is advocating for your policies and convincing other people of it. It’s a lot easier to just whine and complain and not try to change things and put the responsibility on others. Convincing others of your politics are your responsibility, not others.
