Democrats refusing to abolish the filibuster isn't going to keep Republicans from doing the same the second they're able to. This fundamental problem here is that Democrats still believe Republicans are playing by the same set of "responsible governance" rules regarding "norms" and shyt. Every single member of Democratic leadership was present for McConnell taking a truly unprecedented breach of norms with the Garland nomination and they didn't learn a motherfukking thing.
So all your hypotheticals have no bearing on strategy because they'll happen regardless of whether Democratic refuse to wield power. The Senate will still be antidemocratic and structurally slanted towards rural/Republican states. The only way to change the math is to pass structural reform or engage in mass politics via “abnormal” legislation or maneuvers. Republicans have no qualms about being first movers. They understand the stakes. Democrats do not. Republicans don't wait for Democrats to break norms before they do, they just exercise power. Democrats are more concerned with handing over to Republicans a pristine car so Republicans can drive it into a brick wall rather than getting the car a little dirty by taking it offroading to get around the wall.
You must exercise power when you have it because you never know when you'll have it again, especially with an opponent as ruthless as Republicans. This is a question of who will pull the trigger first. Republicans have shown before that they have 0 qualms with doing so, and will do so the minute they get the gun. Democrats are scared to shoot. We can see this in the Democratic leadership constantly mentioning they want a strong Republican Party. This is evidence of madness. Deep brain rot. Politics ain't fukkin beanbag, Democrats should want to crush Republicans into submission. You do that by actually wielding power and not capitulating before you even try because you're afraid the court will rule against you or you're afraid of backlash from a$$holes who will never vote for you anyway.

I can’t refute your point since the Dems were the ones who abolished the judicial filibusters for Republican obstruction, but my sense is they won’t. At least under McConnell they have decided that simply doing nothing and filling judicial seats is their play.
They don’t need to remove the filibuster cause they don’t have any legislation they want to pass. Rolling back government regulations and putting corporate stooges in important seats doesn’t require removing the filibuster.
Once a new Republican majority leader takes over..who knows

I didn't know the US already has such shameful maternal mortality figures for all races.
Serbia has 12 per 100.000 births.
The figure was under public scrutiny in the last few years because of some tragic cases, and because it is quadruple compared to German one.
It's despicable that the US figure across all races is even worse, deteriorating in the last 30 years, and it will certainly worsen now.

what does that bytch ass bill cassidy mean when he says the amerikkkan maternal death rates aren't that bad if you don't count black women...? so in his extraordinarily racist mind it's okay if black women die from childbirth....? yet there are still demonic c00ns saying "both sides are the same"... how any black person can join the klan and be at home with it is beyond me.....
The Politico article about Bill Cassidy and the Eric Ding thread all compare the US maternal mortality to other developed countries.
I've just looked at the statistics by country:
en.m.wikipedia.org
USA is 57th on this list, out of 186 countries.
Saying that the US has the worst material mortality among developed countries seems a huge understatement.
It's maternal mortality is behind a lot of third world countries (Kuwait 12 out of 100000 births, Chile 13/100000, Bahrain 14/100000, Tajikistan 17/100000, Saudi Arabia 17/100000), and in line with the worst European countries.
Now it is bound to worsen, so you'll literally end up in the middle of third world countries on this list...

to be fair, if you were as ugly as she is, you'd be concerned about abortions too... i'm sure there were many discussions about carrying something that ugly to term....
so shes pro abortion? kids getting slaughtered in classrooms
this country such trash
I really wish there was a viable Dem waiting in the wings ready to lead the party. It’s time for Biden to step down and Kamala is hated to much to run. We need a progressive Dem who is with the the shyts, who understands everything is now on the table even a violent civil war with these GOP terrorist, and has the stomach for this fight . In theory Biden should be perfect because he’s old, will die soon and should only be concerned about his place history , the right side of history but he’s acting beholding to the status quo like he has decades left. You cannot negotiate with terrorist
