No what I'm saying is the Republicans wouldn't be able to filibuster a democratic agenda. Anti-gerrymandering, police reform, health care reform, etc. there are a lot of Democratic goals that Republicans have consistently blocked.
In my scenario Democrats would control all of Congress and the white house.
Yes, the filibuster only serves to allow Republicans (the minority) to prevent the will of the majority.
If there is ever an issue that the Democrats feel requires filibustering, then the American public is more than likely to just ignore it if it passes. This is because of how wildly unpopular it likely is, and how obvious it would be that loons in red states are trying to control sane people from blue ones.
Filibuster is the dumbest thing.
Any republican policy that's worth filibustering would just be ignored by the general public, anyways.
It seems like it solely benefits minority rule to stop the majority from doing what it wants.
