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.

In the class warfare of America, there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between typical Republican voters and Uncle Tom, a negro who was exceedingly subservient to his slave masters. (self.showerthoughts)

No, the Democrats didn’t do enough

LOL

That's almost as bad as... "Dems aren't perfect, but."

Christ, I wish the Democratic Party had a shred of empathy left for workers. The minimum wage has been $7.25 for almost 20 years now, across two Democratic presidents who had control of Congress, and both made $100 billion-plus dollars appear out of thin air for war profiteers. The system gives these men all the power they need to make meaningful change, they just don't give a fuck about anyone who can't afford the $500,000 minimum it costs to buy a five-minute meeting at the Democratic National Convention.

Republicans stab us in the front. Democrats stab us in the back.
