Original Note:
The filibuster is designed to protect democracy by slowing government down & to encourage the bipartisanship. It’s purpose is to protect the minority by not allowing the party in power to pass bills with a simple majority. In 2020 Reps used it 1 time & Dems used it 327 times. https://townhall.com/columnists/stevechapman/2013/11/24/democracy-and-the-filibuster-n1751796
