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.

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)

You mean in the USA? I guess the more viable path is to campaign to fix their democracy from within the democratic party. And then make new parties.

Yes that has worked really well so far

To be far the US has seen many different parties come and go.

Spliting from within the party is the usual way.

Whoever splits to the left will just be considered the new "spoiler 3rd party" by the mainstream liberals
