Why not go for the whole stereo type "beer, starting on time, sex dungeons, sausage, sauerkraut and an ompah brass band with drinking songs" !
Surly can do better?

Australia has democracy sausages, I'm surprised the Germans didn't jump on that as well.

They sell sausages at the polling stations for charities, also voting is normally on a Saturday which makes it even easier.

This is amazing! 😅

In Chile as well as in France, we vote on a Sunday. I find it crazy to vote on a week day!

UK elections are on a Thursday so the stock exchange can be informed immediately, because not scaring the wealthy and the market is more important than democracy.

Look it up if you're brave enough to type democracy sausages in a search engine 🤣🤣
