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-----

MODERATORS
You know that's not how elections work, but if you're genuinely interested here are some lists of third-party candidates in the US:
You can find comparable lists on the sites of many more non-frivolous political third parties in which you may be interested, which can probably be found from their Wikipedia entries.
This thread, specifically this comment, is telling you you should vote for alternative parties at state and local levels. The idea is to build up that third party's actual presence in government from the ground up, which is a far superior strategy to splitting a critical presidential race and feeling like you've accomplished anything good.
