For sake of our future, kill the filibuster
Last week, the Senate stopped action on the For the People Act, the wide-ranging set of voting reforms drafted by Democrats to make elections fairer and more representative.
No one was surprised.
Americans have become completely inured to seeing good ideas go to the Senate and die: from stricter gun laws after the slaughter of Sandy Hook schoolchildren to a congressional commission to probe the Jan. 6 attack on that very same Congress.
By now, so much promising legislation has come to despair, it seems the natural path of our political system.
