Is a filibuster good for democracy?
I believe that filibuster is a great part of our government. Right now since the democrats have the senate majority it will be hard for the republicans to stop bills from being voted on that they don't agree with. But if they use the filibuster technique they can try and delay the bill from being voted on so they can get something they want in the bill or just try and get rid of the bill altogether. So it really can help minority parties try and get a say in the government even if they don't have equal representation.
