The filibuster protects moderate Democrats as much as it protects the fascist Republicans, that's why they want to keep it around.

Still why dont they change it so that if you want to use it, you have to be there instead of allowing them to ditch.

Because he knows and the republicans know that its the only thing holding back the other party. Its not as hard to win all 3 parts of politics (house,senate,WH) and neither side wants one party to hold the keys to the entire kingdom for at least 2 years. Ever.
When has it ever been used to the Democrats' benefit?

Pretty sure it was used by Democrats in record numbers during the Trump admin.

Nothing prevented Republicans from ditching the filibuster; the fact is that it's not in their interest, as the party that isn't actually interested in passing legislation, to make it easier to do so.

And couldn't get 50 votes for it because it was wildly unpopular.

The shit Republicans want done can all happen through the courts, states, and reconciliation. The democrats are the party calling for sweeping federal legislation

come on. It was do or die for democrats. Things are getting gerrymandered and voting rights are being curtailed. The GOP wont hold back on killing the filibuster once it gets the 3 parts of politics. Then they will do what covxy said

Why is Texas trying to pass voter security laws in a state that didnt use Dominion and Trump won handily?

What do you mean? They're not trying to pass any laws, they're not interested in legislation.

Actually having watched the video now, Biden is arguing that getting rid of the filibuster would result in nothing getting accomplished, which
1. Doesn't pass the sniff test
2. Is not the argument his defenders ITT are making.
