    Those memes are just contributing to the issue of young people skipping the elections, and then complaining about our leaders being stupid

      No, even the US has more parties than only those two. In Spain we also had a two party system a lot of years ago, but this changed when the people begone to vote also for other parties than those two, with this we have now several different parties, that makes that there have to create aliances to obtain the mayority do be able to govern, so corresponding more on the reallity of the needs of the people, out of this black and white scheme (or better bright and dark grey). In the US is needed that also enter left wing parties, which represent the basic rights of the people, which currently don’t exist, because they are “anti-american communists”, this is the mantra with which they create the fear in the people to vote it.

      Well, then maybe the Democrats should fix that, by putting out candidates that young people actually want to vote for.

            I wouldnt say a party of genocide supporters who love to kick progressives in the face and dont seem to give 2 shites what their voters want and need, and who have a wildly eroding base and 28% approval doesnt qualify as a:

            good choice

            But I guess if thats what you think I’m not going to change your mind.

        I’m sure repeatedly telling people they need to shut up and never criticize The Party will really reduce apathy.

            Voters: “Please stop bombing children”, “Please stop backing a genocide”, “Please stop handing out our taxes to your rich friends”, “Please stop making healthcare the number one reason for bankruptcy”, “Please stop sending people to torture prisons”, “Please make minimum wage a livable wage”

            “…less than ideal party…”

            I think you might have a warped view of what “less than ideal” means

              I hate it but it’s happening no matter who is in power. Best we can do is a party who isn’t going to throw immigrants in concentration camps.

                If you think that committing a modern holocaust is “less than ideal” you belong in a concentration camp.
