I'm a huge filibuster fan. What do you think the odds of it actually being repealed are?
I would say zero lol both parties will talk about it cause I mean sure it’s a great talking point to their bases of why they didn’t pass X,Y,or Z but once the Chamber flips they need it. I think Dems see the writing on the wall for the Senate this cycle and so they know they need it. Republicans don’t really talk about getting rid of it because they are either barely in the majority or in the minority lol

I figured it was less likely than the coverage implies, but it's hard to know from the outside. They have reigned in the filibuster in relatively recent years, after all.

Well let me be the one to tell ya it ain’t happening! 😂 think of it this way… why would you give up the filibuster if you were about to be the one who needed it? Some stupid noble cause doesn’t actually do anything legislatively so the idea is dead. Plus Manchin and I’m drawing a blank the independent from Arizona both are for it
