Well, we can’t even fix fixed elections and so they will get their majority and then they will kill the filibuster and we are done for anyway.

And that seems to be the thing everyone keeps forgetting.

When the democrats have control, they WILL nuke the filibuster themselves.

SO what harm is there in us doing it and preventing them from holding the country hostage again anyways.

And besides, can't it be reinstated again later?

True. And are we really so unsure about our ability to win honest elections with a prosperity oriented platform that we need hide in fear behind the fillibuster? If so, we deserve to lose.
