Had the Dems had the fortitude to nuke the filibuster, and had passed those laws, they would still have a majority - in both Houses, and most likely the WH as well. That is what they don't get - passing popular laws HELP them at the ballot box. I have no doubts that the repubs would nuke the filibuster to achieve their goal of destroying the Constitution, if they need to do it, but with the Spineless Ten in the Dem coalition, they don't need to do so. The difference between the Dem's goals and the repub's - the Dems will strengthen the nation and help her citizens, whereas the repubs will turn the country into a shithole. And AOC isn't a hypocrite, or wrong in what she said. As long as the filibuster is in place, Senate Dems should use it when needed. They did 3 times - good! But on the CR issue, the one most publicized, 10 folded like cheap suits. As for Sinema, she's, well, I can't post what I really think of her, or I'll get the banhammer.
