If Republicans were in charge and they were in this situation, they absolutely would get rid of the filibuster and pack the court. One party seems intent on undermining our democracy, and the other seems unwilling or unable to stop them.

The question is: what do the dems get out of it? Because there has to be a reason that they lay down for republicans almost on command.

It all makes sense when you realize that's the plan and it 2 parties with the same goals. They play Good Cop Bad Cop. But you gonna get screwed either way.

Unable requires having actually tried. Stop at unwilling.

The Repubs & the Federalist Society have already packed the federal courts

They would pack the Court, but probably not get rid of the filibuster since they used it way too much and it adheres to their political ideology of being a dead weight on everyone.

This has been my exact angst for the past four years at least. Why won’t Dems play at least softball!?!
