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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

False because it is an American sub that is weighted towards the democrats and the democrats are not left leaning in any meaningful way. There is no left in America. The democrats and the "left" of America are objectively hard right financial capitalists and managers of empire.
We get it, you're ~~vegan~~ an anarcho-communist
Just be take a short trip to any country outside the US and you'll realize that it is indeed the case: No left in the US.
There is a left it's just not the established Democrat party.
Ah yes, like Europe?
Spain, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Hungary? Which ~~socialist~~ right wing "paradise" should I visit?
Or maybe Germany, where the AfD is gathering steam?
Maybe actually learn about the world before spouting sayings you learned on Twitter 3 years ago.
