My problem with the filibuster is it's all upside for the Republicans, all downside for the Democrats.
1. It functionally protects the American electorate from their terrible decision making. Elect a bunch of neo-fascists? Don't worry, the democrats will keep them from re-establishing segregation. Fuck that. Elections should have consequences in this country. And don't whinge to me about protecting the vulnerable. The Supreme Court has been hammering them with a lexington steele dildo for years.
2. The main exception to it allows for the cutting of taxes. Which benefits the Republicans. Think about it. Whenever they grabe the President, House, Senate trifecta, we all get a giant tax cut. Sure, I guess Biden passed an infrastructure bill, but it took so long, was so incompetent in it's PR, that his administration failed to implement the fucking thing and the progressive priorities in it have been repealed or suspended. But elect Republicans to Congress, and you will always get your taxes cut.
Nothing in our government works because we are drifting in the fumes of the Great Society. Imagine if Congress could actually fucking fix shit instead of just cut taxes and nothing else? Might change the perception of Democrats as pathetic limp dicks?
3. It's and accident of history. Aaron Burr didn't understand Robert's Rules and eliminated the motion to move the previous question. The VP who eventually attempted to start another fucking country and killed Alexander Hamilton.
Everything about that piece of shit anachronism is bad.
