I feel like people really don't get how (especially filibustering) you can do extremely few to fix things. It's very easy to break stuff, and do things worse, because you can just block things and make nothing get done, program expire, etc. But actually repairing stuff and getting new meaningful legislation that will improve the current state is almost impossible when it doesn't have broad support in both parties.
