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.

with 99.9% accuracy that a fascist is elected if people vote for an alternate party

Just straight up blatant lies here.

There are a million other ways to protest/lobby

I can't think of a more powerful protest.

like AOC/Bernie.

I would vote for either in a heartbeat but I can't because they won't be on the ballot. They will step down and insist you vote for Kamala instead. And even if they were you would insist that I not vote for them anyway because it's still "throwing away" my vote.

When either party puts forward a candidate without immediately-disqualifying horrendous traits, I will vote for them. But that absolutely never happens. It is almost always the worst-possible candidate, without even considering their political positions. They all accept massive donations from mega-PACs and a deplorable history of selfishness and lies.
