@Dha713 I’d actually say the reverse is true. Simple majorities promote bipartisanship by lowering the barrier for success and incentivizing “getting in on the action,” while supermajorities calcify partisan divisions. — PolitiTweet.org

@Dha713 Well, it makes no logical sense to impose a supermajority requirement on a chamber already designed to allow minorities to block legislation. And, to your original point, that the filibuster *requires* bipartisanship does not actually means it *promotes* bipartisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenJDuffield @BenjySarlin So, two things. “A majority-rules body with supermajority requirements for specific items” is how the Senate was designed. Also, I do not think the Senate was designed to build consensus, it was designed to promote deliberation. Those are two different things. — PolitiTweet.org
