This is why we need ranked choice voting

The really shocking stat is the growing number of eligible voters who have just stopped voting or participating in the system at all. When you look at the #1 reason why it is "no matter who wins my life doesn't get better and no candidate represents me". We have a quasi functional democracy at this point.

This is true of every election except maybe one.

Nobody always wins. The "winner" is always elected by a tiny minority. It's a fundamentally corrupt system. Always has been. Literally concocted by genocidal slavers.

Well the US clearly doesn’t mind that much cause they’re accepting his neverending stream of shit.

If you didn't vote then you were fine with this outcome. The majority are ok with Trump winning.

I get downvoted every time I bring this up too. However, the voters saw January 6th and they saw the repeal of Roe V Wade. If that wasn't enough to get your butt to vote then you're fine with this.

I still think big tech backed Trump because of Lina Khan. Well also the tax breaks. Urgh ...

Either way. Americans have done nothing to change their electoral process.

First Past The Post in this age?

No Universal Civic Duty voting in this age?

This is a product of American inaction. And their insistence that their system is the best despite it being considered archaic and prone to manipulation by other modern democracies.

Americans should finally demand a not so stupid voting system
And maybe have 7 presidents

Let's be honest here, both parties are full of shit. During Biden term 3500 students had their visa revoked due to anti Zionist protests, let alone canary mission bullshit.

And do not forget about insider trading and that both parties are funded by private companies

Hi, OP. I just want to let you know that I appreciate the sentiment you're trying to express in this meme, but I also kinda low-key hate you for:

  1. using a title that sullies the good name of Maxwell Smart by making me associate his catch-phrase with Trump, and
  2. using an ellipsis to weakly trail off when you should've used an exclamation point to finish strong instead.
