Well for starters we haven't had a Democrat senate supermajority without caucus since 1979, we haven't even given them 50 since 2012-2013, and now everything is going to shit, so...

Democrats need to grow a spine and abolish filibuster. republicans already removed the filibuster for SCOTUS nominations, might as well go all the way so maybe we have a chance of fixing things.

fascists can just ignore the parliamentarian anyways.

Have not had more than 50 in over a decade. Why would you allow the simple majority rule when you're literally outnumbered?
