Do you really not think the Democrats will get rid of it the next time they have consolidated power?
Do you really want to have to live with the regret of nuking the filibuster when dems use it to bring us single payer?

If the GOP actually did health care reform the right way there would be zero support for the Dems and their shitty single payer.
I'm aware the odds of this are extremely low.
If the filibuster was this bastion of our democracy it would have been put in the Constitution. It's been completely abused.

Make no mistake. There is STRONG sentiment against the filibuster on the left.
Republicans have meaningfully used it for the time.
