Watching the Democrats and this ridiculous voting bill they are trying to shove down our throats got me to thinking about this. IMO the only good legislation is legislation that the majority of the country can support.
Is Legislation Good When Half The Country Opposes It

The majority of the country supports it. https://thefulcrum.us/hr-1-public-opinion-polling
Pretty presumptive to think your opinion is automagically 50%...
What polling shows 50% disapprove? This data shows only 21% opposed it.
Obviously half the country opposes the legislation, 50 Republican Senators voted against it.
I’m sure the legislation is a joke, however I can’t think of an issue off the top of my head that an overwhelming majority of the American people would get behind...we are divided and Biden and the other clowns in DC won’t be changing that. Will be interesting to see who capitalizes on this
No voter ID not among them.

Half the Country opposed Peachmint Part 1 and Part Deux but the libcomdims did it anyway. They don't care what the People want, never have never will. And that goes for Thuglicans as well.
84% of non-white voters support ID, huh?No voter ID not among them.

It’s almost as if......
Unless you have other data you’d like to link, guess I don’t consider surveying 1000 registered voters nationwide overwhelming support.
Ford signed the Metric Changeover Act in 1975. Over half the country opposed.
From 1991 to April, 2003, I had a front row seat watching the millions upon millions of dollars it cost Americans being out of step with the world.
Sometimes legislation is good when half the country opposes.
It sure does. Looks like an overwhelming majority of Americans agree with ID to vote. I wonder why that's not in the moronic bill...
I don’t consider surveying 1000 registered voters nationwide overwhelming support.
Damn, if only someone, anyone, would have proposed that be added in... did you know that amendments can be proposed to a bill? Knowledge is power.
Republican presidential candidates won a majority one time in 30 years. How about electing presidents with less than a majority?
Every President is elected by a majority, just not the majority you want.
You are partial right and wrong at the same time, I want all of the legislation in this country to go through the legislative process including the 60 vote threshold in the Senate. I don't care which party holds the majority the 60 vote threshold is IMO imperative to the proper function of our government. Unlike leftist I do not support one party running rough shod over the minority with a simple majority vote, even when my preferred party is in power.
Personally my idea of the perfect make up of Congress in a two party system is an exact 50/50 split with the firm rule on every piece of legislation or nomination requiring at a bare minimum 60% to pass.
