They had a majority in the House, 60 votes in the Senate, and the Presidency for like 70 days.
During which time the sun was in their eyes and the dog ate their homework. They could have killed the filibuster forever with only 50 votes. If they had wanted to protect Roe.
Where does Congress get the power?
If they don’t have the power, they shouldn’t have run on it. They shouldn’t have lied and said they did. Or they weren’t lying and you’re just making excuses.
The rest of your comment is just your devotion to this one “they don’t have 60” excuse. If the Jim Crow Filibuster is more important to Democrats than all the shit they won’t do for their voters, then the only reason we give them majorities is to slow the slide into fascism. Not to reverse it. That would, as you are delighted to point out, require 60 votes. And when they have the opportunity to slow the train, well shucky dern, that lil’ ol’ filibuster is there to save them from having to do jack shit.
We gave them the seats needed to do this. If you don’t demand lockstep from those we elect, don’t you dare demand it from voters.

You vehemently refuse to understand how Congress works, yet you steadfastly blame the party not responsible. There is literally no point in talking to you.
Since 2012, the Democrats haven’t held more than 48 seats in the Senate. Again, you’re uninformed. In fact, so much so that you’re a Dunning Kruger wet dream.
When you take into account those that caucus with Democrats and vote with them more reliably than actual registered party members, there are 50 seats. Your excuses are shit, and you know it.
When you take into account those that caucus with Democrats…
So it’s the Democrats fault that people who aren’t Democrats don’t support eliminating the filibuster? And you think my comments are shit? Look inward, you’re ignorant of the facts yet absolutely certain you’re right. That’s pathetic.

50 is enough to end the filibuster forever. You don’t want it to happen.
