The main two things Democrats want before the 2022 election is to eliminate the filibuster so that they can pack the Supreme Court with activist judges willing to rubber-stamp the disastrous policies of the Democrats.
Do you really believe a majority of Americans want either of these policies put in place?
The answer is a resounding no but you have to realize the Democrats are no longer afraid of voters after they proved in 2020 that they can win elections without them.
The Republicans fully expect to take over both houses of congress in 2022 and with Biden’s policies, we could be talking a red tsunami.
If they then hold them and win the White House in 2024, the first thing I expect them to do is to pass an amendment to the constitution limiting the Supreme Court to nine justices. That would prevent Democrats from ever considering it again. At least it should.

The Wall Street Journal added:
Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker finds consistently strong opposition among independents to such plans for structural changes, and concludes that moderate and unaffiliated voters did not vote for Joe Biden in 2020 “to turn the government upside-down” or “remake America.” Rather, they were hoping he would bring calm and perhaps “less bickering” to Washington, he adds. …
If Senate Democrats choose to make such radical changes despite widespread popular opposition, the new survey suggests they can expect a political reckoning in 2022. Independents saying they would be less likely to vote to re-elect their senators if they “voted to remove the filibuster rule and pack the Supreme Court” outnumber those saying they would be more likely by a more than 2-to-1 margin.
Mason-Dixon has a well-earned reputation for producing among the most accurate political polls.
