As your constituent, I support abolishing the filibuster in the 120th Congress. I've heard all the arguments. I've heard all the "but what if we really NEED it???" We DID really need it, repeatedly, in THIS Congress. We needed it to save health insurance, and the caucus instead, at best, folded. We needed it to do something, ANYTHING, about ICE and their literal crimes against humanity, and the caucus instead, at best, folded. If the Democrats cannot or will not use the filibuster for these literally life-or-death issues, then it is useless to us - except perhaps as an excuse the caucus can use for doing nothing to support its base and voters. No more excuses. No more filibuster. Voters elected Democrats up and down the ballot last week to GET THINGS DONE. Abolishing the filibuster is step one.
