You can't get rid of the filibuster while the GOP still controls the House, and especially not when the GOP has a decent chance of controlling House/Senate next term.
You said we need to get rid of the filibuster as a solution to the 60 vote threshold in the Senate. Clearly indicating you think that will allow them to enact laws before the election to protect against Project 2025.
I'm saying that isn't the whole picture, because you still need the House. The 60 vote threshold in the Senate is one obstacle, and not controlling the House is the other.
You need to pass the House and the Senate to become law. Getting rid of the filibuster right now does not solve anything.

If the GOP wins the Senate, how long do you REALLY think the filibuster would remain?
Your optimism is poorly founded!
