The 2020 Democratic Party Presidential Debate in Westerville, Ohio, became an instant meme due to the sheer number of candidates—12 in total—squeezed onto a single stage at Otterbein University. This visual of a crowded line of podiums quickly became a metaphor for any situation involving an overwhelming number of participants, chaotic group discussions, or a surplus of options where everyone is trying to speak at once. Internet users utilize this template to poke fun at the 'clown car' nature of large group activities or the difficulty of reaching a consensus when too many voices are involved. It remains a staple for political commentary and relatable group chat humor.
