The purpose of the filibuster isn’t to protect a sizable minority in the Senate. It’s to give the majority party an excuse not to pass a bill that is popular among its voters but opposed by its donors.

If the Republicans had 75 seats in the Senate today, they’d adopt a rule requiring 80 votes to clear a filibuster.

Glad to see there’s at least *1* person who gets it. There’s no money is the PASSING, all the money’s in the PROPOSING. You can only pass a bill once, but you can PROPOSE it every year or two.
