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.

Well depending on what your goals are… any 3p is a fuck you to the two party regime.

Voting for either is a vote FOR THE REGIME.

That’s my 2 cents on the issue.

This is true, but the one i would have voted for filed the wrong form to be put on the ballot and is disqualified. So idk if i trust that one in office.

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
