No. The Dems used the filibuster even more during the Trump presidency than the GOP has during Biden's presidency. Sure the filibuster is abused and needs some changes but it's saved all our asses plenty of times.
A tool isn't good or bad. It is how it is used. If the filibuster is used to block bad legislation, it is a good thing.
