No more Trump fog, I can see cleary now. We’re dealing with a party full of cowards and corporate stooges.

Hopefully they lose the House and Senate and Biden spends the next two years negotiating with his friends during impeachment proceedings.

Under Biden's leadership, the Dems are really hitting it out of the park.

From the article:

Shortly after the story was published, Rosen told the Post she would support eliminating the filibuster "in the case of protecting democracy,” after previously saying she supported reforming the filibuster.

“I will never stop trying to find common ground across the aisle in order to deliver for hard working Nevadans and Americans, but I’m also not going to let obstructionists stand in the way of protecting our fundamental rights as Americans," Rosen said in a statement. "Right now, our democracy is under attack and we must do everything we can to protect voting rights. If eliminating the filibuster is what it takes to get it done, then we must protect our democracy at all costs.”

But Rosen, who is first and foremost in favor of reforming the filibuster, is not grabbing the same splashy headlines in the filibuster fight as West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin III. Manchin, unlike Rosen, has refused to sign on to a sweeping voting rights bill known as the For the People Act because it doesn’t have Republican co-sponsors. Other Democratic senators have expressed some issues with the text of the bill as currently written, but every other Democrat besides Manchin is a co-sponsor of the bill.

But she is still behind Biden’s top priorities. She supports all of the president’s infrastructure plan, and bristled at the GOP’s dismissal of Biden’s “human infrastructure” proposal, even if it passes without Republican support through budget reconciliation.

In fact, Rosen favors returning to the talking filibuster, which would force opposing senators to speak on the floor to hold up a bill instead of just signaling their opposition to it. Asked whether concerns about eliminating the filibuster stem from her support from abortion rights groups like NARAL and Planned Parenthood, who endorsed Rosen during her Senate bid and have conspicuously sat out the fight over abolishing the filibuster, Rosen replied that Democrats need to be “careful what you wish for.”

Some proponents of abortion rights fear that removing the filibuster could backfire on Democrats if a future GOP-controlled Senate is eager to implement new abortion restrictions. “I will never back down from a woman’s right to choose; I think it’s fundamentally important,” said Rosen. “We have to look at not just when you’re in the majority, but what does it do when you’re in the minority? You have to be mindful of that.”

This is similar to what other Dems like Angus King have said. I still think it's a bit silly (Republicans will get rid of the filibuster if they find it politically advantageous, regardless of whether Dems keep it in place or not), but she's not another Manchin or Sinema, and that context needs to be made clear.
