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

And the best argument for democracy is a 5 minute conversation about every other form of government.
Also true
To paraphrase Churchill. Democracy is a terrible system of government, shame it's the best we've created thus far.
Wow, that's one of the worst paraphrasings of his quote that I've ever seen.
To paraphrase Socrates, The only true wisdom is you're dumb.
Yet both my shit paraphrase and your shit paraphrase hold closer to the actual intent of the quotes than what people often imply with actual quotes. Like when preachers cherry pick the Bible or that one Tolkien quote about allegory.
Only that we have republics and not democracies.
