Fair, but... You get the Congress you vote for. If you need Congress to work together instead of acting like idiots, vote for people who will work together instead of acting like idiots. If you won't, this is the kind of Congress you get. We haven't been feeling the pain because of the executive branch. But now Chevron is overturned... (Also, murder is going to be against state laws even without federal ones, so this won't turn into the murder crisis that you suggest.)

> You get the Congress you vote for You also get the people your country comes with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. > murder is going to be against state laws even without federal ones, so this won't turn into the murder crisis Fair enough. There might be truth to bills passed without a supermajority having an automatic sunset. The benefit there being it could be rolled back retroactively. That said, Congress loves a crisis. Having the existence of every Department, agency and court subject up for grabs if the Congress (or any legislative body) falls into temporary paralysis sounds like a good way to justify a coup.

The US voting system doesn't give you the Congress you vote for. We saw that with Ross Perot in the 90s. 19% of votes and zero representation.

    The same thing would happen with a party that receives 20% of the vote. No representation
