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.

lemmy.world going hard against third parties over the past few days, what has spooked them?
They support a genocidal cop as their presidential candidate.
"I am concerned about the genocide in Palestine, so I am going to take actions that will clearly make things much worse for the people in Palestine because that is the ethical thing to do!"
Why are you assuming that person will vote for Trump?
Never said they would. But realistically you have to acknowledge that a third party candidate has no chance of winning this election. If your only concern is Palastine then not voting for Harris actively makes things worse for the people in Palastine, even if Harris is not doing enough to help them. Your options are bad, or worse.
If you're trying to build support for third party candidates for future elections then don't give me any bullshit about Palastine, because that will not help them in any way.
The genocide will continue as scheduled, Trump or Kamala...
"If you don't vote for my guy, regime will fuck Palestinians even harder, do you want more blood on your hands?"
Pathetic argument, DNC can't even muster proper position on the issue beyond, Trump might fuck them harder.
Welcome to today's American folks 🤡
It really shows that feeling morally superior is more importantly to them than actually getting results. Harris has some genocide, so let's help Donald "Finish the Job" Trump win and have lots of genocide. My protest vote sure helped the Palestinians!
Genocide is bad, but apparently genocide isn't bad enough to take a simple action that will prevent it getting worse.
The primaries are over. The risk of Trump is too high and people spreading 3rd Party ideas right now many be trying to demotivate progressives from voting for Harris. I mean, I'm not a big fan of Harris, but I'll still be voting for her over Trump.
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.
Oh look, yet another .ml troll
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?
