I think they should.

I also think it is very arguable that the Filibuster is a significant driver in polarizing the nation.

Think about it. With a filibuster rule, ANY deviation from the pack completely fricks your party.

The filibuster rule effectively makes it a PLUS to be the most cohesive, monolithic thinking party.

Being a party with individuals who vote their own minds is basically political suicide with a filibuster rule because the party that is monolithic can "get things done" while in charge but claim you are "do nothing" when they are not.

I agree in the main.

It does move power to the parties and provides too much deflection from getting things accomplished.
