If the Democrats don’t get rid of the filibuster they won’t be able to accomplish things they promised, which will lead them to lose power to the Republicans. Once Republicans have the power, they will do to the Democrats all the things they’re now warning Dems not to do to them

Yet there is evidence to suggest that the Democrats are actually okay with that since they don't think things should really change, and they "need" a healthy GOP. They play Good Cop, Bad Cop.

No. They would exploit the lack of the fillibuster though! 😂

which is why they aren't planning to get rid of it. If they do, they will have to actually do something. As it is, they get to blame the other side while collecting plenty of funds from the corporations they are supposed to regulate.

And Dems will gleefully fundraise off of the dastardly things Repubs do, while bemoaning all the things they - the noble Dems - would do "if only" they were in power. #InauthenticOpposition

The Republicans had the ability to abolish the filibuster and didn’t...fear porn

They want to get rid of the filibuster, not to pass legislation, but to consolidate power and strengthen the uniparty. It's a smokescreen to think they want to get rid of it to help the poors. Yea right.

Surely you know that Democrats once in power, want to have every excuse to do nothing, right?
