There actually was context for this believe it or not. Before the Great Reddit Enshitification, r/dankmemes (I think), would have a yearly election to determine what the fish of the year would be. I think they also even held regularly scheduled debates. It was in an elimination bracket system like they do in basketball.

I don't remember if the pike ended up getting cancelled or not.

Oooh! Reminds me of when Tumblr had an election thing years ago.
