Senate rules are embarrassing. One corrupt person can block a law that would benefit everyone in the country. The vast majority of US senators are bribed by dozens of wealthy donors.
But one senator van jam up a bill that would hurt too.
Given how weak and sold out the Democrats are, nothing happening is far better than what the Republicans want. That is actually what the Democrats base their entire electoral strategy on, aiming to do aiming to do nothing.
A single senator from a state with less population than a small city (500,000) in California can stop a law that would benefit tens of millions of people. It makes the votes of less populous states disproportionately more powerful than a vote from a large state.
Sure, bit with so many offices captured by nazi allies and nhilistic pieces of shit, less is more right now.
Now is the reason the system was set up like this, specifically so a minority can jam up the majority pushing through a bunch of plutovratic nazi shit.
There are only 6 cities in california with >500,000 population... I don't think you can call that a small city. Your point still stands, but let's not get crazy with our words here.
I think what should happen next is that every aspect of Ted Cruz's life should be made public. When he sits at his table eating his morning cereal there should be cameramen outside livestreaming it for the world to see.
Other than this, i dont understand how so many politicians around the world do not understand the importance of privacy rights? The size and number of data breaches that have been happening lately has been skyrocketing and I am genuinely baffled how anyone can think it is a good idea to force people (like they are in the UK currently) to submit very sensitive IDs like passports or driver's licenses to the governments when... yeah, the UK government had a breach very recently with tons of data leaked...
Laws governing data privacy and corporation collection of information should have been very strictly regulated in the very early 2000s, we are fucking super late in the game.
You're giving off some strong "I just awakened my ChatGPT" vibes here. Raw genuine unadulterated humanity is a figment of your imagination just like the "original" tomato, both have evolved from prior iterations of it's ancestors and will continue changing in the future. Why not just aim for primordial bliss?

With a tire iron, good enough?

I'm thinking some rough hewn pine is appropriate. Tire irons are usually painted and smooth. There is no point of such luxury here.

It is extremely undemocratic.

The only time Texans get a break from Ted Cruz is when there’s a natural disaster.

He's one of those politicians that I just can't understand every time they get re-elected. Like Schumer, or Graham. Voters are just the worst.

He was awful, but he did everything the Republicans wanted. Very effective to their cause of over turning Democracy.

Honestly! I was in Texas for the Snowpocalypse and I naively thought everyone had woken up to his sniveling spineless ways.
I genuinely thought "Even if Trump wins, Texas will get Allred."
Then November happened and I was so fucking baffled. Cruz is reportedly abhored by EVERYONE.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 347d
Because most people have reduced voting down to cheerleading for 'their' side. Cruz has the (r) by his name, he gets their vote.

They do understand their importance. They understand that they have to suppress those rights to continue in power.
PKscope@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 348d
Additionally, they understand that a fundamental lack of privacy is great for security and ultimately, their wallets.
