Right, but the trade-off is that doing really unpopular things could turn voters against the GOP. The filibuster lets them avoid dealing with controversial issues while telling their base it's all the Democrats' fault. Without it, they either have to pass crazy things and piss off normie voters or admit to their base that they actually don't care about any of the culture war stuff. Either option could cost them a lot of support. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! <cite>Xeybozn posted [p:986892232] in Politics C...
