Jesus christ this has gotta be one of the most annoying conversations people have every four years. uhhh we gotta vote because the other candidate is literally hitler guys he's literally hitler. uhhhh noooo I don't wanna vote at all because I'm cranky and my candidate has dementia and sucks waaaaah.

I feel like I'm stuck in a fucking time loop. I would much rather see people being like, oh you hate our options, like a sane person, but will probably vote anyways because it takes like an afternoon at most, if you really feel like it and hopefully don't have anything more important to do? Instead of this meme, I'd rather see like, oh, here's some shit you can do, here's some organization you can join, here's some place you can donate money, something like that. Here's what building you should throw a brick through the window of, you know? I'd rather see that, than these dumb ragebait memes.

This is why George Washington didn't want a 2 party system.

Nobody does but you're not a democracy so it's tough luck

The politicians in charge want it. So pretty much every republican and a sizeable amount of democrats. Without actual representative voting, both parties would loose a lot of members to new founded parties who now suddenly do have a realistic chance of actual political power. None of the established people in the parties want that. After all it's working out just fine for them.
