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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

No. It takes a truly shallow mind to come to this conclusion. Most of us Democrats understand how politics work and knew it was Trump or Harris once Biden stepped down. That's it, no third option. Only a true idiot or a Trump supporter (same thing) would think not voting, voting this party, it voting for Trump was in anyway better for Israel, Ukraine, and America.
Not really. If your focus is beyond the next 4 years, you can argue letting Democrats lose is the best strategy to stop wars on the planet down the line.
In fact if Kamala was going to loose either way (as it happened) it's a good thing that she lost hard.
Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.
but in the long term there's always a swing back the other way
Right. Germany got it's act together...
...AFTER THE DEATH CAMPS.
......after a couple of generations, with many years of misery.
There is at least one camp right now where genocide is happening and the Democrats are supporting and paying for it.
But not the Republicans? Their hands are somehow clean?
I never said that, although Democrats are the ones still in power. My point was that both sides are blind.
Congress is mostly Republicans.
Or did you think that the presidency was the only thing that mattered in the US?
Yes?
So if the camps were happening either way, better not to vote for the guy that says "vote me and the camps will have regulations in regard to human experimentation!" and strictly go for "fuck that shit".
I get people still being affected by the election topics, but it's not now.
