Ever hear of a super majority?
With 60, congress is filibuster proof.
Also, with that logic, everything accomplished over the time the Republicans ran things is equally Democrats fault, as they didn’t filibuster. Not sure I would spread the blame that way. Republicans are to blame for all the horrible things they did while the controlled Washington, and Democrats are to blame for what’s going on in Washington today.
