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. (lemmy.world)

Supporting and voting a party complicit in a genocide is not just a "feeling". Dozens of kids are being murdered daily in gaza, this is already the worst scenario.

All the women dying of ectopic pregnancies or sepsis from stillbirths they cannot abort are on you.

Wrong, these are on people voting for the red and blue party which for a century have been cycling in power promoting the same authoritarian politics.

The GOP will let Russia have Ukraine where they will rape and murder anyone who resists

I encourage you to read about the cold war and check how many military bases the us has spread all over the world. I also encourage you to read about ukraine government corruption and their authoritarian measures and lastly i encourage you to check who usa and russia are in partnership with.

And if Trump wins because of your "morally superior" choice you'll have only succeeded in helping Israel exterminate them faster. There will not be any discussions about whether to pause or halt shipments of arms.

If the red and blue party wins again the genocide goes on. The alternative is something else not one of these two

Yes genocide is bad but have you heard of double genocide? But wait what if triple genocide was on the ballot? Well then you're morally obligated to vote for double genocide. B-but now quadruple genocide is on the ballot. Well shit time to shame everyone for not voting triple genocide because everyone knows 4 is worse than 3 it's simple math losers

Showerthoughts

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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
