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

Don't pretend like you don't remember the Democrats wringing their hands every time they had majorities, and saying they couldn't do anything or had to heavily compromise because of this or that single person.
The last one was Joe Machin. "Oh! Guys. So sorry. We would totally help the people, but we can't do anything because of jOe mAnChIn!" They always have a scapegoat.
My favorite was the parliamentarian. The one who is an advisor and can be overruled at any time.
What can democracy do, the parliamentarian has rendered government powerless to act. *shrug
