The filibuster is nuts because small states are already heavily overrepresented in the Senate. To also require a supermajority to pass any legislation is simply a recipe for gridlock. It doesnโ€™t encourage compromise, only obstruction. Compromise legislation is what you get when a bill passes that everyone from Bernie Sanders to Joe Manchin votes for. There is no way to get 10 GOP votes for anything worth doing.
