  • Americans require a 60% supermajority to reduce drug prices.

  • Americans require a 60% supermajority to legalize abortion nationwide.

  • Americans require a 60% supermajority to regulate AI

  • Americans require a 60% supermajority to ban gambling ads.

Basically, they can't do anything without a 60% supermajority.

It doesn't matter which party controls Congress. So american politicians get elected and say "Sorry, our party can't fix your problems".

On Reddit, some americans actually believe it's a great idea. It's crazy.

What's the point of a legislature that can't do anything?

Thank god that Canada doesn't work like that.
