I think I get it now. Since Manchen is a Democrat, we expect him to be a liar and a cheat, and should be happy when he performs it with less zeal than we've come to expect from the likes of AOC and her squad.
No Sale.
Then your preference would be the filibuster removed, and a small majority Democrat lead running roughshod through the senate like they had 2/3rds... Because to date, what stands in the way of that are two Democrat senators.
I don't have to agree with them on nothing else, But I would have to be an idiot not to credit them in this and take the win. In fact, I would like to have more Democrats to agree with more often - Me and Zell Miller had a lot in common... Even Lieberman and I could find common ground. To encourage a more centrist wing of the Democrat party is a bane to liberals.
So when there is agreement, I think it should be noted. Even if it is phony. Because the popular acclaim found in doing the right thing encourages more of the same.
