Useful distillation of the pro-filibuster position: if we got rid of the filibuster, elections could change what Congress passes, and that’s bad because the system is currently nicely wired for GOP priorities.

Sadly, the best ally Repubs have had in maintaining the right-leaning state of the Senate has been “moderate” Dems like Manchin and Sinema who talk about how the filibuster keeps things “bipartisan” and inspires “debate” while ominously talking about how Repubs will just pass whatever they want if they win back the majority.
