If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Also a lot of people ran in the general election that weren't members of the two major parties.
And I raaaan. I ran so far awaaaay.
I just ran.
I ran all night and daaaay!!!
........I couldn't get away.
I voted for Aunt Jemima in 1978, after I was born at age 6 without a face in 1983.
