The meme represents relentless persistence in the face of repeated rejection. For similarly stubborn request energy, see Bernie I Am Once Again Asking (weary repetition). For confident defiance against impossible odds, see I Am Inevitable (Thanos).","format":"classic","howToMake":["The Dr. Strange \"I've Come to Bargain\" template is ready.
