"Dems should keep filibuster intact so they can use it themselves!"

That's an argument that is being heard often nowadays.

A bit of context: we have a little more than a year till next elections - and there are envoys that have still not being appointed because of filibuster. We have more than 300 high-ranking military positions vacant - because of filibuster. (The latter one includes such positions as Commandant of the Marine Corps and Army's Chief of Staff).



Thus, unless you want to say that Dems should engage in direct sabotage and prevent the other party from actual governing - you cannot say in good faith that Dems need to preserve filibuster.
