Every senate Republican knows the filibuster is far more valuable for them than for Dems. Call them on this! The filibuster has been used to stop progressive legislation for 150 years. Do it!!

Short-term pain for long-term gain.

That's if there's a single Democrat anywhere in the party who can think more than one step ahead. Maybe Schumer, who seems poised to capitulate once again, should have a strategy session with Mamdani or a few lefty podcasters to figure out what they should do..?
