I think when people say supermajority they mean of one party. It’s a flaw in our two-party system. If the 51%/60% votes are spread across many parties the same problems don’t exist.
(Supermajority is 60% and therefore filibuster-proof)
Hmm, that seems to be something very US specific then. Normally when people say supermajority they mean special provisions that for example 66% of the votes are needed to change the constitution. This of course means that a minority of slightly more than 33% can veto it.
