Politicians in the United States are too stupid to realize that the 60% rule to pass legislation in the U.S. Senate is not the problem. (Or they are deliberately blind.)
The problem lies in the fact that legislators are voting the party line instead of voting their conscience and since the Republican party is currently corrupt, unethical and unscrupulous there is not much chance of getting anything done since the Hard Right is intent on opposing anything put forward by the Democrats no matter what it is!
This has been Republican party policy since the Obama administration when there was a "nigger" [sic] in the White House, and it doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.
Perhaps the only remedy for the United States is to start a third party called the "Independents!" or the "Libertarians" at the Federal, State and Local levels!
The way I see it anyway!
