Should the U.S. Senate ditch the filibuster option?

That is what some House members are suggesting. I say go for it. The filibuster has become one of the main reasons that Congress has become so dysfunctional. How did this rule ever get passed in the first place? Whoever was in the majority had to agree to giving up power.

The Democrats would be hurt a little in the short term, but the President still has veto power, which can only be removed by amending the Constitution. I would refrain from pointing out to Republican senators that what goes around comes around
