    Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.

      It seems like Harris turning half Republican and supporting a genocide is what’s demotivating progressives from voting for her and people spreading 3rd party ideas is a symptom of that.

        How do you have a four year old account with only two comments?

        Anyway, still better than Trump.

          To answer your question, I joined Lemmy when it was a niche open source project then left because nothing was happening until the mass migration happened

            Fyi, accounts that only make political comments, especially ones that have suspicious comment history come across as astroturf or hacked accounts.

          What did I say in my comment that isn’t true, and do you have an actually convincing argument for that besides calling me a troll?

    A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

    Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

    • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
    • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
    • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

    Rules

    1. All posts must be showerthoughts
    2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
    3. No politics
      • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
      • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    4. Posts must be original/unique
    5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

    If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
