You do know Dem votes are needed to break the filibuster in the Senate, right? All the Pubs can do is reconciliation bill without Dem help.

How did the Democrats manage to beat these numbers in the previous Congress—with the filibuster in the Senate and a Republican House....?

So change the rules.

Either make them get up there and filibuster or just do away with it

No they aren't. If the Repub don't even bother to push bills forward, there is no filibuster.

If they were actually trying, they'd put all these bills up and force the Dems to actually filibuster them, or let the vote happen. Instead, the Dems win without having to do anything..
