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.

Then explain to the class what you do believe in. Give us 3 bullet points you'd want a candidate to also support.

I'll start as an example:

  • I believe in complete and unequivocal abortion rights for women
  • High speed rail should get more funding in the US, and car based transport (where rail could be a realistic replacement) should not be a cheap as it is
  • Gerrymandering should be ended, and federal level elections should be taken over by a nonpartisan 50-50 committee to create new maps when local governments continue to submit unacceptable voting maps to intentionally stall so they can keep using the old gerrymandered map for the next elections
