Posts should be memes

No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
A small vocal minority that spurred apathy.
They are sanctimonious while being one of the many architects of our crumbling level of control in our democracy.
Are they a minority? Maybe but US elections are won and lost on an increasingly small number of constituents.
That being said I dislike all forms of non-voting but at least I might be able to convince them.
