Progressives outside of the Senate can’t do anything to change the rules of the Senate, that’s what Senators are for.

I think we are supposed to jump up and down, and make a lot of noise about “the anti-democratic rules of the Senate”. This will allow Senate Democrats to publicly realize that anti-democratic rules are choking Progress. They will then be able to fight the good fight to, for example, kill the filibuster. So that we can be invited to cheer as they once again manage to fall just short, not so much because of Republican opposition but because of dissension within the ranks.

And presumably respected SDCoS is referring not just to the filibuster but also to things like secret holds? Which is not a written rule that has to be voted out, but just one of the hallowed unwritten conventions of the Senate that Harry Reid has to honor because he just has to, that’s the Senate way. The will to fight “the anti-democratic rules of the Senate” is so self-evident, isn’t it?
