It wasn't Bernie.

As far as Sinema:
Bipartisan Infrastructure
Inflation Reduction
Respect for Marriage

She got those through cloture.

I want to see filibuster reform, but I think she's correct that we shouldn't get rid of it. It's one reason TFG and Turtle weren't able to accomplish much legislatively during the first two years. If we nuke the filibuster, then there's nothing preventing a Republican trifecta of passing all those horrible things they're threatening.
