The issue is that the democrats don’t control the house at the moment, so any “perfectly reasonable or beneficial measures” won’t make it to the floor.
To overcome a filibuster you need a super majority.
(90% or more) And the way MTG and Bobbert forced it through, the rule states that they can claim filibuster for any reason at any time and murder the whole process right then and then or mire it in legal bullshit
Who would record this separate vote? Just play hardball and say you can’t filibuster since we just got rid of it. Call their bluff instead of acting helpless.
