I think you missed the point of the meme.

People vote for whoever wins their parties primary. That's bad, we agree.

First past the post voting would allow more than two parties, giving us more options. We also don't truly live in a democracy due to the electoral college.

Our system is messed up, and we're allowed to criticize the Democrat party for its lack of action to improve things. That's not an attack on democracy itself in any way.
