For example, what legislation have the democrats allowed on the floor that Republicans support, who have proposed over 2000 bills? Here is what the Senate has considered this year.
Hurricane Sandy Funding
Violence Against Women Act
Raising the Debt Limit
Sequester Replacement
Continuing Funding Resolution
Budget
Gun Control
Internet Sales Tax
Infrastructure Spending
Farm Bill
Student Loan Interest Rate
Immigration Reform
HUD funding
Nothing in there is Republican priorities, even though they represent 31 states and 100 million citizens, theoretically.
But that has nothing to do with the use of the filibuster and everything to do with the Senate Majority Leader not taking up bills approved in the House and sent to the Senate. Once those bills come to the floor, Republicans can decent all they want.
