Seems odd that if you win by 0.001% that's treated the same as if you win by 50%. "You barely won, here's the same mandate as someone who won soundly"

Probably a bad idea, but there's an idea in there that isn't dumb.

Biggest problem with this is election cycles.

It's no easy thing to facilitate and organise every single person in your country to put in the effort to vote, manage the logistics of vote transportation and administration tasks like rezoning districts to match population density etc.

Even though we see it as a thing which takes a few months, the gears never stop turning, and if you want to wedge a crowbar between those gears, you might want to start preparing for a civil war.

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.
