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.

Yeah absolutely how can I ever vote against war and imperialism if both parties are in favor of giving endless money to defense contractors? You’re basically saying I have to force myself to vote for the American military death machine in every single election or I’m a bad person and maybe you have a point but if you have to make that argument I think you should have a long look in the mirror

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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  • All posts must be showerthoughts
  • The entire showerthought must be in the title
  • Posts must be original/unique
  • Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
