    This is what happened. As civil rights legislation began moving through Congress in the 1950s and 60s, Southern Senators realized the power of the filibuster to obstruct progress and started banding together to prevent bills from being voted on. The tension came to a peak when Senators such as Strom Thurmund, Richard Russell, and Robert Byrd filibustered for 60 days, trying to prevent a vote on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
    In an attempt to cut down on the lengthy speeches of filibusters, Senate leader Mike Mansfield made a change to the rules in the 1970s. Instead of going up to talk, Senators could now merely threaten to filibuster, and unless cloture was reached against them, they would effectively block the bill from going to a vote.
    Between the years 1917-1947, there were only about 19 filibusters. Recently, however, the use of the filibuster has skyrocketed with over 1,500 occurrences in the past 20 years.

      Some More News on youtube did a great video on that. Dr. MLK is quoted saying voting rights was easy because it didn't cost money, but other changes require economic change.
      Additionally he said people were more upset by the bearings and water cannons than the actual inequality. It's a powerful quote from his interview.

It only indicated whether or not you were married. Trump purposefully erased LGBTQA voices too. There was talk of including such questions but they decided to ignore it.

      Agreed. People complain about politicians saying they'll do something and not delivering all the time. They should appreciate Biden saying he will do his best to make it happen but it's really up to all of Congress.

    When I first heard of the "filibuster" in the US, I thought someone was making a joke, but no... this is the most _undemocratic_ thing I've ever heard: a single person can block everything, "for reasons"?!

      Yes. We are an early (not the first!) Democracy, which is to say, not really democratic at all. And we refuse to bring our system of government into the 20th century, much less the 21st.
