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.

2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.

While we're all worried about the future of America, the misogynous racists out there must be dying of stress right now (kbin.earth)

This comment is beautiful. Always vote.

Less, beautiful, more wordy:

Even if you don't manage to flip a seat, your neighbours who feel the same hopelessness as you will look at the results at some point. Your vote will make them know they are not alone. It matters.
Any change in the right direction is significant, and worth fighting for - voting for it is a no-brainer. The margins might make the difference between people voting or giving up staying at home at the next election.
They won't you to believe you shouldn't even bother. Don't fall for it.
Georgia flipped the Senate seat in '22, for the first time since the 90s. It's possible.

Go vote, folks.

If voting didn't matter, Republicans wouldn't try so hard to stop people from voting
