    Dems manage to filibuster plenty.

    As soon as the republicans got into power they removed the filibuster.

    There’s also the oddity of “we didn’t exactly what we wanted in the first months

    Congrats, you understand how elections work. You do what you were elected to do and you don’t do things the base doesn’t want you to do or you decrease turnout.

      Republicans removed the filibuster only on the issue of judicial nominations. That might seem nitpicky but it’s a critical distinction.

        Republicans removed the filibuster only on the issue of judicial nominations.

        Which, in hindsight it’s obvious why they wanted to do that, and makes it clear they had a coherent strategy the whole time.
