    Democrats had the opportunity to pass voter protections.

    They considered the filibuster to be more important.

    They have filibustered none of trump’s agenda.

        And has all of trump’s agenda been executive orders? The continuing resolution schumer caved on? The vote to thank ICE?

          You mean the continuing resolution that would have caused a government shut down which Trump would have used to take more power and a meaningless symbolic vote?

            That’s a cute excuse. If they’re not going to ever use the filibuster, they should have killed it to protect Roe and voting rights. But since the filibuster is an easy way to block progressive legislation, they won’t. They won’t play offense when they have the ball and won’t play defense when they lose the ball.

            and a meaningless symbolic vote?

            Yeah, democrats have sunk to the level where they won’t even do meaningless symbolic shit.
