But with 50 or less that means getting rid of the rule holding Republicans back.
Just look how well it turned out removing filibuster for Cabinet appointees.
The filibuster that republicans remove when its convenient? The dems wouldnt need to proceed with the assumption the republicans were about to take control if they actually improved the immediate material conditions of their constituents. Theres also a million things they could have done by executive order.
The filibuster has not been removed in my lifetime AFAIK.
The rules were modified to stop the senate from filibustering cabinet in 2013 and SCOTUS nominations in 2020, and remain not in effect to this day.
I hate to "both sides" this conversation, but neither of these political parties have been working in the interests of the people for a real long time.
