7. I don't have a problem with getting Dems re-elected either,
if they are doing their jobs. And the Senate is not doing its job.

3. Congressman says there are 264 bills sitting the Senate waiting for
action. Says either get rid of the supermajority or force them to fillibuster on the Senate floor. Call them on it. He is right.

11. Mostly normal, actually.
The Senate is ALWAYS by far the slower of the two bodies.

10. Except you can't force a floor filibuster.
Either you misunderstood said Congressman or they're either a moron or a grandstander.

12. Imagine that! US Senators
using an opportunity to advance their own re-election. Lots of reasons to criticize them, but I think this one isn't realistic.

15. Enact the Nuclear Option. DUMP the requirement for 60 votes.

Simple majority does it. Tell Joe Biden to live in the Senate Chamber in case he's needed as a tie breaker for the Blue Dogs who forget which party they belong to. Get. It. Done. All the status quo is going to do is make Democrats lose seats in November. People are TIRED of the bullshit. GET. IT. DONE.
