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.

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

Yeah, so was Biden when he was VP.

Everyone knows this, I do t know why so many people are treating it like a revelation. Mainstream news was openly saying it as soon as she announced she was running.

Her VP would be an older white guy for "diversity" of the ticket.

meanwhile, trump who will claim he's "most qualified" for the job, REFUSES to let his college transcripts go public. i'm going to go out on a limb (except, not) and say he cheated his way through college, as with everything else, OR he's a straight D student, hilariously

this is of course ignoring all the lying, raping, treasoning, failed businesses, failed presidencies, and other wannabe con man shit.

but people will still vote for him, because people are stupid gullible suckers

Even if you just randomly selected from the available options, 3/4 of them are older white guys.
