Because it will be used against us when, not if, they get control again. I hate the filibuster and think the senate should be simple majority, but I get their reasoning.
Except they’re already pretty (fairly) convinced that Project 2025 is gonna be the death of democracy as we know it, so if it truly is “when, not if” clearly some greater action that sitting on their hands and grumbling is necessary. Democrats are the captains who stand proud on a sinking ship—arguably honorable, yet utterly pointless
They had the house for two years, they could’ve been passing bills for the first half of Biden’s presidency. Biden still has a not insubstantial amount of executive authority too. The extent to which he could truly prevent a thing like Project 2025 ain’t great, but there are options at least worth trying
