In principle I’m strongly in favor of getting rid of the filibuster. Politically, I hope the Democrats fail to get rid of it (just like Trump couldn’t get rid of it). And when Republicans control all three levels of government again, the Republicans get rid of the filibuster, all while gleefully telling the Democrats that 49 out of 50 of you leftists supported getting rid of it a couple years ago so take your hypocrisy elsewhere. And then Republicans pass on party-line votes 75 years worth of Republican desired legislation, including reversing all Democrat programs since FDR.
