I'm not sure how anyone could honestly support the filibuster. It's extremely undemocratic and has mostly been used to prevent civil rights legislation and keep racism enshrined in law in the US. It wasn't even an intended mechanism of law in the constitution - it was introduced by accident, and only "discovered" as a mechanism to delay government action decades later.
