End the Filibuster Now

The filibuster disincentivizes the minority party from contributing and participating in governance and instead incentives sabotage and obstruction; if the majority party fails to pass popular legislation that was promised as an agenda priority on the campaign trail, the minority party is likely to regain control in the next election because voters are under the dangerous impression that the government simply doesn’t work, and certainly doesn’t work for them. Instead, without the option to obstruct legislation using the filibuster, the minority party would be incentivized to participate in governance and demonstrate its interest in responding to American voters in order to build a case for re-election. Vote to end the filibuster, pass popular legislation addressing the crises we face, and show Americans that the government is there for us when we truly need it most.
