Explain like I'm a liberal: If the democrats say they need filibuster proof majority to pass the $2k checks, why don't they just make the republicans stand up and filibuster to prevent their constituents from getting the $2k that Trump demanded?

Please something more than "because the democrats are controlled opposition".

    they don't even need to be present to filibuster which is the worst part. Its literally so easy to do it and dems continue to be shitbags. NPR went over how this works as part of a segment on its relation to slavery: https://www.npr.org/2021/01/12/956018064
