A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
Yeah, I despise the two-party system. Protest voting won't magically give us the democracy we deserve. It has to be done on a small scale, local and state level. It's gotta be organized. Governors are particularly invulnerable to this two-party bullshit, and that is I believe why a few states have Ranked Choice Voting now.
And actually voters aren't to blame. The founding fathers understood what they were doing to our democracy, and them saying a two party system must not be established was probably more of a dogwhistle that it should be done immediately because it will work.
some of the founders were outspoken in their support of a two-party system. you don't seem to know as much as you pretend.
edit: or you're lying.
I'll stop beating around the bush and say I think George Washington was lying. A few of our founding fathers had principles, but the most powerful of them were actually just reactionary elites using any narrative for power. So when he says don't form a two party system, I think if he had the chance he would have done it himself.
