520 _aThis article analyses the social media phenomenon of Nurhadi-Aldo, a fictional presidential and vice presidential candidate duo, as a campaign for golput, reaching hundreds of thousands of Indonesians on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Drawing on Gramsci's concept of "common sense," this article suggests understanding the fictional Nurhadi-Aldo election campaign within the context of a hegemonic social bloc which relies on a political language through which marginalised groups cannot express their aspirations in terms of their economic identity. Rather, the language of religious morals and reactionary nationalism is the default stance. An analysis of the issues, arguments, symbolism, and language used in Nurhadi-Aldo memes suggests that the campaign offered a new style of golput campaign since it used language and political symbolism that ran counter to the political language of the ruling social bloc.
