With the Texas primary coming up today, one would think that people would be campaigning their candidates’ policies in order to increase their support, but leave it to people to make a joke out of politics. Memes, or internet jokes, are fine in portions of life, but the Bernie vs. Hillary meme has taken the joke too far.

The meme basically takes so-called “issues” based on anything in pop culture and creates fake stances with Bernie as the protagonist with the obvious answer. Hillary, on the other hand, is purposefully portrayed as a fool. I’m sure some could defend the meme as satire, but frankly, the majority of people creating these memes comparing fake issues between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton truly want Bernie as the Democratic candidate. Politics are shameful enough already with consistent trash-talking muddying campaigns.

And, frankly, they’re illogical. How can you expect to get votes with a nonsense Twitter campaign? I mean, that’s what Donald Trump does, but I thought Bernie’s supporters hated him.

Admittedly, it’s not just millennials who are obscuring the primaries. Media coverage almost solely focuses on the latest absurd Trump statement or insult. Other candidates whose beliefs are much more solid than Trump’s aren’t talked about. We’re talking about a problem, not possible candidates who are trying to be a solution.

And that’s what politics should focus on: trying to find a solution. If America doesn’t educate themselves on the candidates, how is the nation going to rationally choose one?

Instead of making jokes about candidates, make valid points. If you want to promote a candidate, present the facts, not figures of our favorite pop trends. The stances we take today determine the nation’s standing tomorrow. Memes cannot be something to base an election and future on when they fade and get replaced.
