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.

I too doubt it could work but man it would be great if it was margin of victory rounded up to the nearest 10 percent with one year for each 10 percent maximum 5 years. Oh and no re-elections one term based on your first result then out. To get the max you would ned over 70% of the vote. Also all unopposed elections are one year terms.

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.
