Ok, so less a shower thought and more a “random observation while standing in line to vote” thought, but my mind is about equally checked out in both scenarios, so I’ll count it.

          Oh, there’s a new rule?

          I don’t think this is a political post, though. OP is not using this post to endorse a candidate or policy.

              If you take the community summary above the rules to be the definition of a showerthought, and if you count “standing in line” as an everyday activity (since it was during the standing in line, not the voting, when OP had the thought), I’d say it’s not breaking rule 1 either.

        Yeah maybe. I just dont think ive seen a regular shower thought post when browsing everything. Seems to often be appropriated by politics, but could be confirmation bias.

      We can’t keep everyone happy. I’ll agree that this post gave me pause. I think it’s better to error on the side of leaving things up.

      Please report the post if you think it violates rules, and please specify which rules and why.
