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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Biggest problem with this is election cycles.
It's no easy thing to facilitate and organise every single person in your country to put in the effort to vote, manage the logistics of vote transportation and administration tasks like rezoning districts to match population density etc.
Even though we see it as a thing which takes a few months, the gears never stop turning, and if you want to wedge a crowbar between those gears, you might want to start preparing for a civil war.
