This is how I imagine North Korean democracy would be: Kim Jong can't win, but can't lose either.

Just keep on requiring votes until you win. Eventually you will have brokered enough influence and bought enough votes to win.

They must realize at how inept it makes them look doesn't it?

US gov't is inept at best, but this is a new floor in ineptitude.

[ExtraSlow]

You know, the republicans are giving themselves a lot of self-inflected wounds the last 2 years. This kind of ineptitude is really what really reduces confidence of "ordinary voters". If you can't even handle basic procedural things, and show a united front to do so, how will you handle any kind of difficult or complex legislative task?

Fucking Alberta Conservatives have been showing similar tendencies, and it's worrying.

I mean its kinda obvious right? They have no idea how to govern and have no platform. Their mandate is to oppose ideas of the evil left.

They are two parties wearing a trenchcoat and acting like one. It's not going great.

This is what happens when you run politics on the other guy is bad instead of what you bring to the table.

So why are the minority crazy right holding up their own party again? Just because the leader is from Cali?

This seems to be the primary platform for both ends of the political spectrum in Alberta, Canada and the USA.
Fear of the other side is the primary message. Which is in itself, scary.
Wait for the Pollivere is the devil adverts to start soon.
