/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

Ease of swaying voters vs soliciting donations from companies. Say you'll make immigration/abortion/guns/giant mechas legal/illegal and odds are you'll have a sizable following of voters immediately. It's significantly harder to make corporations give you money... unless you've already been voted into office.
Tolerance for lying. You can promise voters the world and renege on all your campaign promises with basically no repercussions. Do the same with corporations and you'll have multiple lawyers aiming lawsuits up your ass.
Votes per person vs Money per corporation. You have one vote amongst millions. How much do money do you think it's worth? Whereas a single corporation can make a donation worth millions. Corporations know their donations can buy politicians with lots of votes, but voters don't think their votes can sway rich politicians to help them.
