Yes, it would. But let’s look at how the last two years would have worked out for the GOP had there been no filibuster:
The GOP’s odious Save America Act passes and we’d have national voter ID & election Security: Federal mandates requiring strict proof of citizenship and govt-issued ID for voting, standardizing election rules nationwide.
Much more aggressive border & immigration overhauls: Sweeping statutory changes forcing immediate border enforcement actions, mandatory detentions, and …
Ending the filibuster would transform American politics.
@shoq @indivisibleteam Exactly. The filibuster was created to help the minority defuse the tyranny of the majority. It doesn't matter what your policies are, at some point they will be in the minority and you need tools to hold your ground to,the greatest extent possible.
