Look why don't we just point this out, which is a pretty obvious hole in all this.

Do you really think the Affordable Care Act would be the way it is if they ever had the majority needed to codify Roe?

They spent literal years getting filibustered.

Absolutely. This is the group that never put the public option on the table to begin with as a show of "good faith bipartisanship". Which netted them zero votes. We can argue whether Democrats don't know how to fight or just don't want to. But for now the result is the same. A few are finally starting to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. But they're still a minority.
