How do we better America?

[Torie]

Kill the filibuster. It degrades the accountability of the parties, and the ability to effect change, rather than being gridlocked into the status quo, in a most unacceptable way to me. The most popular option that forumites have chosen is the sort of thing that one wishes would happen, but making it happen is really not in the cards as a practical matter, or at least extremely difficult to make happen. Killing the filibuster is easy, if we can get a majority of the Senate to go there.
