The filibuster is a historical, anitdemicratic anomaly. It was historical tolerable as long as racism was bipartisan, but that is no longer the case.
Getting rid of the electoral college would require an amendment. Surely Bret doesn't think amendments are too easy to do?
Debt forgiveness is tied directly the statutory language that Congress passed.
Like, different things are different, actually.

1. Expending the Court simply because the majority does not behave to one side's liking is extreme. Codify Roe into law instead.
2. I can see both sides of this.
3. Getting rid of the Electoral College would create a tyranny of dense population pockets over the rest of the country. Unwise.
4. What statutory language? The only language I know that allows that is the bankruptcy code. We can and should make student loan debt dischargeable, and allow for clawbacks from universities that confer degrees to people they know or should know will effectively force those people into bankruptcy.
