If the Democrats won’t end the filibuster, then 2022 will for all intents and purposes end the power of the Democrats.

I have started to disagree with ending the filibuster. Ending it only helps if all 50 vote so that the tie breaker can be cast by the VP. Manchin and Sinema both stand in the way, so ending the filibuster only gives the GOP a green light to pass whatever they want if they regain

If you think the courts are now slanted, after filibuster for judicial approvals was remove by Harry Reid. Just wait until there is no filibuster for laws too.

I remember when the Democrats loved the filibuster. Anyone else remember 2019?

You'd be celebrating the removal of the filibuster all the way up to the point that the GOP has everything again.

The consequences of doing nothing are ... MONUMENTAL ... With Gerrymandering, Voter Suppression Laws and Republican control of State Election Boards ... The Democratic party will fade into Oblivion ... the USA will have ONE PARTY ... like NORTH KOREA, VETNAM, AFGANISTAN AND CHINA

Maybe we let them self destruct. We need more parties anyway.

You will not be happy if the filibuster is ended if the Republicans control congress. Common sense please, not what sounds good.

Umm, they don't care because the wealthy will win, which is they will win. An Authoritarian government is coming to the US and it will be the creation of the wealthy few.
