Face it. The “procedures” have been made by the rich and powerful for the competing rich and powerful. Ordinary citizens don’t count. This has been going on for decades and is baked into the system the rich and powerful created. Think Carnegie. Think Rockefeller. Think Mellon. It’s not any different now. Think Musk. Think Theil. Think Ellison. The only way to change the system is to make it not about money but about serving the people as the stupid people believe it’s about governance. Maybe the current corrupt administration has given America a warning sign. Maybe it’s already too late.
Logically, if you believe in majority rule, the filibuster's letting the senate minority obstruct good law is wrong. But if the majority wants bad law the filibuster is the senate minority's safety valve. I think what is needed is eqitable law, justice that an insuperable congresssional majority decide on, which a hostile president can't veto and a hostile supreme court cannot overturn.
