Why should Democrats want to permanently do away with the filibuster when they only ever had a razor thin majority and were facing an opposition hellbent on destroying the entirety of the Affordable Care Act and leaving 40 million Americans without health insurance?
Last time voters gave Democrats a significant enough majority, they got the Affordable Care Act. If voters want Democrats to act decisively, all they need to do is give them a decisive majority.
Voting for Republicans and then whining that Democrats get nothing done isn’t going to achieve anything.
They could have done away with the filibuster permanently with a simple majority.
They choose not to.
