I could get elected to senate probably, if I was willing to spend fifteen years doing local and state office first. Ain't nobody got that kind of time I got hospital bills

Politicians have that kind of time. It's paid for by their owners.

Yeah and their corporate owners aren't going to back an environmental anti war candidate

I'm pro- turning food into compost. I'd like to help our constituents and anyone who does that.

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
