” The type of democracy where you have to support the abhorrent to keep out the truly monstrous and if you say you won’t, a bunch of self important liberals will pretend it’s all your fault and not the parade of geriatric ghouls the party has been nominating

Yes, isn’t it terrible when democracy doesn’t agree with you? The only TRULY democratic society is one where those pesky proles listen to those who know what’s good for them, right?

Yes, only a paltry plurality. If only there were a way that the option that even less people agree with could win.

Democracy doesn’t work particularly well when the voters are uneducated or otherwise missinformed. That when the country starts doing things that are against its and its own citizens interest. Corruption, legal or otherwise, also contribute to making it disfunctional.

This argument is the justification for the Electoral College.

So we’re just coming out against democracy now when the proles aren’t on our side, are we? Great. Glad to see this brave new form of leftism.

Isn’t this literally the message of the meme?

No, and I don’t really know how you could come to that conclusion, since the meme doesn’t say anything about whether any given act or ideal is ‘true democracy’.

“If leftists don’t vote for Biden they are stupid”

5 minutes later…

“Wow why do you think I’m telling the proles how to vote?”
