As we face yet another Govt shutdown I reflect on these absurdities. In the United States:
•1 Senator can block all military confirmations—but it takes 60 Senators to overrule him
•1 Speaker can shut down the entire government—but it takes 218 House Reps to overrule him
•1 bought SCOTUS Justice can strip away rights for hundreds of millions of people—and it's virtually impossible to remove him

This is not a functioning democracy. It is GOP exploitation. Vote GOP Out. Reform our government.

@QasimRashid it isn’t supposed to be a democracy. It is a functioning republic.

@QasimRashid this sort of veto power was built into the system to ensure the smallest among us has a voice. And if it is meant to pass, they will vote him out next week and choose the next person to either rubber stamp the legislation or be an independent thinker and driver of policy. He is driving the America first policy and it’s a shame the democrats didn’t have this sort of throat for when Biden withheld CONFLICT changing aid at the beginning of the war… war profiteers won

The smallest among us have a voice? What fucking fantasy world do you live in?

@RodneyPetersonTalent @QasimRashid the representatives that voted fridays bill down in the house were elected to reduce the budget as a priority, it would seem, so their respective constituencies, 21 congressional districts, have a minority but it is enough of a voice this term in Congress that their concerns have to be addressed. Congress was designed for these revisions to legislation be made to appease the voices of those 21 districts.
