A filibuster is when someone just keeps talking and refuses to stop until people agree to vote their side. Since they can’t vote until they are done it can be dragged on for hours. It’s generally seen as an annoying and childish tactic, but has worked before. Some people want to “kill” it because being annoying is generally seen as a bad way to try to persuade people.
