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 all of these issues are due to Democrats refusing to change the rules.

They don't change the rules because they want the Republicans to be able to block things that their corporate donors don't like.

Republicans could be voted out all day and it won't matter as long as the rules are the same.
