US Government shutdown averted

This situation comes up regularly and it seemsd a stupid measure foisted upon the long suffering public.
The situation must be tackled differently.
Sure, I do not have the answer. One thing is clear, the US services will shut down again and again in the years to come.
Why don't the public not vote for those politicians who keep voting against funding the Government?

US Politics is a strange creature. We can argue about why, corruption, a fragmented society, or the representatives placing personal needs above community. But it just is.....Just because one side is bad, it doesnt make the other side any better, come next week. Our bent Pollies like Dutton, Angus Taylor, Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan are squeaky clean compared to even the mid range US people.😷

@Gusman I couldnt agree more.. As i see it we have two broad options (and one advantage with our preferential voting system) First, vote for a minor candidate you do believe in, preferencing the least worst candidate ahead of the worst worst. Second, ingore the candidate, but vote for the party that stands for the issues that mean most to you, whatever they may be..Or sometimes it will be a negative trigger like voting against nuclear power..😷
