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.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)

I've been wondering something, specifically related to something I heard mentioned last night on a stream: their hypothesis was that real life ground game, door knocking or whatever, doesn't matter any more, and the modern 'ground game' is social media and 1:1 conversations.
When 'reasonable' people delete/deleted twitter/facebook in droves, are we just ceding the ground game to the racists and the ones who can shout the most hate?
Leaving a toxic environment that also is a privacy and advertising nightmare will always be an excellent personal choice.
The point being, an excellent personal choice at the expense of the greater whole?
I believe having a good, healthy personal foundation allows people to make better choices for their communities.
