It’s sick to watch them act so helpless, like a turtle stuck on its back. In reality, the Dems recently had control of both houses of congress and didn’t do anything with it!! He supported keeping the filibuster and now won’t even use it!

The constitution clearly and explicitly states that a simple majority is needed to pass most legislation. Dems decided to keep the filibuster when they voted on the senate rules in 2021. This is all on them.
It’s a self imposed 60 vote threshold. Sorry, but when you tie one arm behind your back, you can’t complain that you have an arm tied behind your back. Like, that’s your fault!
Why on earth would you want them to keep a self imposed 60 vote threshold?!?! The senate has ground the senate down to a halt since its use became more widespread in the 1990s. And now the Dems won’t even use it
Oh, 4 whole times in 6 mos. What a joke. I think we should go back to how we did things from our founding til the 1990s. The filibuster just makes an already conservative institution even more conservative. Senate sclerosis is a major reason why Americans have turned to a strongman to enact change.
