Seriously, you're paying these dudes to make 'largely symbolic gestures'?

I don't know how they do things where you are from, but around here their main job is symbolic gestures. For reals.

Supposedly (from recent reading) they're going to work on getting rid of the filibuster, or at least pull some of its teeth. To me, this would be a good thing.

would be nice if the filibuster required actual filibustering. there's a separate single-senator hold procedure that also needs to get the fuck gone

Yes - the thing I read said they were starting with that. I would cross my fingers but they get cramped when I leave them like that for too long.
