This should be a standard talking point for midterm campaigns.

and we are the government. The government serves the will of the people (ideally). Pretty sure this is not the shit I want.

truthful, than that.

Yep, this should go viral.

I get the sentiment. But it's a little too absolute.

is politicians choosing their voters not voters choosing their elected representatives. You like that one, right?

Because I was thinking that if someone were a violent right wing anti-government extremist, they would also love it if our government "knew nothing about" them.

The second match was from a right wing Canadian account on X.

Many politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us. Taxpayers pay their salaries. Instead, many of them portray a sense of entitlement and act like they are lords of society. They are too good for common folks.

It seems that some get really pissed off when someone post a... *gasp*... meme.

Because... well, I am not sure why, actually. I guess they don't like images with their texts or something.

The irony is that your post has nothing but text on it. I still expect someone to complain about it.

(I happen to like this meme and will put it in the collection to have for a later discussion. Thanks, applegrove!)

I was not saying that 'most people here' don't like them.

I am saying that there are a few that don't like them. They confuse me, but they exist.

I guess you have not been reamed out for daring to post a meme on the DU, but I have.

And, I am not alone, I am sure.

Thus, my post.

I find that this is a little too binary.

We seem to have lost the idea of nuance as a nation in general.

in people's brains. Nuance can take place at another time.

We’ve become the sound bite society. It’s not good for democracy.

People need to get their attention span working again.
