Memes have a will of their own. We are their pawns. The memes demand creation, who are we to deny them?

The meme had to be made and I agree with you on the premise. It sucks, but it is reality. We have to first accept reality and accept how our system works. THEN we can start making changes to it.

The problem with the people that get angry with Biden over genocide and declare they aren't voting for him is that they are ignoring all the thousands of steps preceding an election. Laws, local elections, campaigns, funding, primaries, etc.

To use a metaphor, we are on a cruise ship and we've been heading straight at some rocks for several hours and they show up 5 seconds before we crash they throw their hands up in frustration. Yeah, we need to be changing course WAY earlier than an election year.
