A filibuster can only temporarily hold things up. It is used to give groups time to negotiate. You can filibuster all you want but at some point things will just move on. The ability to filibuster is nothing like a veto that you are making it out to be.
You dont understand how it works in the senate.
Failure to reach the 60-vote threshold: A continuing resolution in the Senate requires 60 votes to overcome a filibuster and pass.
- A Republican-backed measure failed three times to advance, consistently falling short of the 60-vote threshold.
