That’s a lot of work when we could just get 60 senators to stop being pricks
Again, you don’t actually need 60 senators, just 50 is enough. Rule changes to the filibuster can pass with 50 votes.
But you’re forgetting the 218 seats need in the house, and obviously also the presidency.
And they can’t just be a “Democrat”, but also have to be a "Progressive Democrat. I mean, its an uphill battle.
And of course, anything passed by the normal legislative processes can just as easily be repealed that way.
Lasting change is going to require constitutional amendment(s) to harden the democracy against bad actors.
