What if you're anti-death penalty? Can we give the filibuster life in jail? Seems more humane

They won't kill the filibuster. It's the perfect excuse to do nothing. And doing nothing is all they're interested in.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Biden already said he's against removing the filibuster. So that won't happen. 🤷

Our “democracy” died when Reagan seized power with the help of the military industrial complex.

Truly, it’s coming into clearer and clearer focus: the filibuster is being used as a tool of injustice. And people ought to wage peace by raising noisy righteous hell in the home districts of elected leaders who rely on this Senate rule to protect an unjust and ugly status quo!!

Alas, there'll always be a rotating villain in the Senate, or a Chief Gavelkeeper whose Ancient Office forbids doing anything that will hurt corporate donations.
