Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): Okay, yes, police are currently in the process of violently stomping out political dissent on university campuses across America following multiple statements from President Biden attacking the protesters as “antisemitic” for opposing the genocide he’s been enthusiastically facilitating in Gaza. And okay, fine,
The Dems have never used the filibuster to block Republican legislative initiatives. It’s only been used to stop things like the Civil Rights act, and ensure that massive government handouts are given to well-connected contractors.
You need to intenalize the purpose of the filibuster, it’s not to stop “the majority to trample the rights of the minority,” or whatever idealic thing you’ve fixated on.

That is an absolutely, 100% false claim. (And, if you want to check the source, Repustar is the single largest contributor, and they have a very high reputation for being factual.) Both Democratic and Republican minorities have made quite liberal use of the filibuster to block legislation that they couldn’t directly vote down.
There are literally no sources there. Give me the senate records that show the dems did it. There should be bills that came up for the passing and the outcome of those bills. I see nothing there. That websites source is “trust me bro.” Also you then cite mediabias fact check to fact check the source that of the filibuster claim.
