Filibust everything.
Democrats kept the filibuster around for this reason, right? They didn’t just keep it around to prevent progressive policy from passing, right?
The second they try to use it, the republicans will nuke it, citing the precedent that the democrats did it first with lower court judicial nominees when they refused to let a single one pass, same way they did with scotus nominees when democrats dared to use it one time in protest against the stunt they pulled with Garland.
Force Dems to reign in minority power the tiniest bit and use that as an excuse to remove minority powers entirely the second they’re in the majority is pretty standard Rep SOP now.
Then the only point in preserving the filibuster was to block progressive legislation.
At least Democrats didn’t have to codify Roe or pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Trust me, I’m in agreement with you there. They really need to get their heads out of their asses and stop acting like the GOP fascists are going to follow the rules and act with integrity.
And I’m being awfully generous here with assuming there’s a chance it isn’t malicious on their part, that maybe they really are just that incompetent to have missed the reality of this situation. Even though I don’t have much hope of that anymore.
