IIRC, the Democrats used the filibuster more during Trump’s first term than the Republicans did during Obama’s second term. It is a highly flawed tool, but it does have its uses. Yeah, we are going to be able to pass more things we want, but so will the opposition.
I think we should get rid of the filibuster because it has allowed the Executive to take more power. That doesn’t mean it will be entirely positive. It might even be a net negative. Remember that we got rid of the filibuster for supreme court appointments and that is what allowed the Republicans to take a supermajority there.
