The Democrats had a two year period, 2020-2022. GTFO out your lies.
They're talking about a supermajority where Republicans can't stop them. Every other time we've been stopped by Republicans or Democrats working as Republicans (Manchin and Sinema) 2020-2022 we had a razor thin margin that Manchin and Sinema shat all over.
The filibuster isn't a law or Constitutional requirement. It's a self imposed rule they could have removed at any time. In fact the Constitution only requires a simple majority for anything it doesn't specifically mention needing a larger number.
And Sinema and Manchin stopped us from removing it :(
Then kick them out of the party. Make the actual position clear. Don't tell us you have the votes and you just don't want to because voters will take you at your word.
The Repuglicans controlled the House of Representatives during that time. And still control the house. You are lying to yourself.
Here you go. There's helpful websites if you have trouble remembering.
