That's more complicated than a simple meme. If you have a party with 1/4 far left, 1/2 moderately left, and 1/4 basically moderate conservatives, it doesn't matter that you have a majority, those moderate conservatives will still hold up any progress, but that's not the fault of the other 3/4 of the party.

So they can feel like they've done their civic duty without actually effecting any meaningful change.
