Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) 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.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

You're viewing low voter turnout how puritan work culture views poverty. You're blaming the victims of the system by calling them lazy, rather than interrogating how the system creates those outcomes. You're also making villians out of the very people who you need to engage and work with in order to turn this situation around, again like puritan work culture.
Stop giving up on people before you even give them a real chance.
They have had chances. They don't use them.
You're coddling people who need to be told they have to DO SOMETHING.
90 million people don't abstain from voting simply because of voter suppression. Period.
