I think every election cycle there's probably people who get jaded, hence all the non-voters.

And it's only 60 senate seats because they've decided it needs it. The majority sets the rules like that, they could make it happen if they wanted to and change them if they wanted to. The only time they've ever done it is to approve some Federal judges. Otherwise, they usually let the Republicans overturn norms, which just makes us go further right.

There haven't been more dems than Repubs in over ten years, there haven't even been more than 50 dems total without independent caucus, so that sounds like a bad idea to change the rules at that time, tbh.
