>If only the majority party were willing to wrestle a tiny speck of that anti-democratic power away from the Senate by overriding extreme rules like the filibuster...

Or reverting back (pre-1970s) to the "Talking Filibuster,"[0] where you could only stop a vote by continuing to "debate" on the floor of the Senate.

That won't solve the problem, but it would be a step in the right direction: Talk until you can't and in the meantime, try to negotiate with the majority.
