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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

He might have run in 4 years. But assuming he doesn't want to run against an incumbent, he'll have to wait 8.

PR already cashed out, but there are others waiting for your scenario

I think he is/was trying to bide his time.

Perhaps, but I'd respect him more if he grew a backbone and spoke out against Trump.

Anyone who hasn't condemned trump will never get my vote. EVER

I'm not sure I would vote for them but I was curious as to who in the Republican party opposes him and found this:

As long as that list is, it's not long enough.

That is a pretty short list at the federal level. Traitors to our country, every single Republican legislator not on that list.

Just any Repub ever. Their party will not hold Donald accountable and are actively shielding him from justice. Their policies are all bigotry, deliberately ignoring objective reality, and shoveling money over to the wealthy.

Romney, and Liz Cheney seem okay. McCain was single-handedly responsible for blocking the GOP from being able to repeal the ACA when Trump was in office. He's gone now though, and so are most of the Republicans who are like he was.

More likely he was timing his Biden.
