Agree
These geriatrics and their incompetent nepo babies need to be removed from power
Yeah but it’s USA. Let’s wait and see how it plays out for the next 3 years or more. I don’t mind.
Yes! I believe we should have snap elections if the budget doesn’t get passed. If you have 6 years or 6 months left, it doesn’t matter. We can do elections within 2 weeks. We don’t need 2 years for an election season. If the local community thinks their rep did nothing wrong, then they will be reelected. If not they will be replaced until a budget is passed.
We need a way to replace people that aren’t working instead of just dealing with them for years. If you can’t do you job then you are fired, unless you have a close connection with your local. Then you could explain the situation.
Its election day tomorrow, so after that they’ll magically come to an agreement in a few days.
Yes, I agree. When people don’t do their job, they get fired. The people shouldn’t reelect a single one of those fuckers, but unfortunately people only vote for colors around here.
…This is where you draw the line as to what constitutes as a failed government? With all of the other reasons out in the open.
Nailed it. Maybe a nation who’s entire system of checks and balances that it beat off to for years can be toppled to fast and utterly doesn’t deserve to be rebuilt.
The experiment is over folks. It’s been dead for a while. 2025 just opened some people’s eyes to it.
the us is far to rigid for that, and neither side wants to give up power to have a new election or government/coalition. the gop and lesser extent the dnc fights tooth and nail to prevent expanding both houses SEATS, and the scotus, smaller groups are easier to control and manipulate than a really large HOUSE, or senate.
In many countries, failure to pass a budget triggers a new election
Like Canada.
And it is in danger of happening soon
Not really. Forcing an election now would result in pretty much the exact same outcome. All the parties know it. Worst that will happen is the Green and NDP abstain, the Cons will vote against, and it will pass.
You’re so close to realizing that you don’t have a government that represents you, or it’s citizens in general. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
We call them Double dissolutions in Australia. It happened once.
It’s worth noting that there was CIA involvement
Depends on the consequences of failing to pass a budget. If you just keep using last year’s, it’s fine.
Who’s going to make them give up power?
Disagree, but only because I think there should be non-negotiable items in the budget, including paying your workforce.
