Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Ok, well, put out more likable candidates that get votes then. Stop expecting people to vote for a candidate just because they "aren't the other guy." You want people to vote for your candidate? Stop cherry-picking the next anointed one and saying "here they are, vote for them!"
Goddamn. And Democrats wonder why people think they (we, since I'm registered as one) are so out-of-touch and condescending.
Do people in the US actually refrain from voting because their candidate is "boring"?
Yes. Elections in the US aren't really about convincing people to vote for you, it's about convincing the people that already like you to actually vote.
The number of undecided voters or those that actually vote both parties is basically irrelevant. It's all about getting as many people that support you to actually vote.
Ha! Yes. The usual voter participation in a given election is typically 40% or less.
