"Fans of obscure US Senate procedure, rejoice! The Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, ruled last night that Democrats can use the weird budget reconciliation process to pass more than a single bill in a fiscal year."
It's neither "obscure" nor "weird". And frankly, it's unhelpful to frame it that way: "this is just stupid, I don't get it, why do I even need to know this?"
To be sure, reconciliation hasn't been obscure since 2009, when our side decided Obama was a Traitor To All That Is Good And Decent because the Democrats couldn't do a public option via reconciliation. And as for "weird", it's funny how things get less "weird" when you take a minute to understand them, be it a can opener or a Congressional process.

He's fine with that. It keeps his people's hands clean from that icky "governance" that just causes them problems in the primaries.

I tried to bring my own brake shoes to the Firestone and they asked me if I brought my own meat to Ruth Chris. I just slinked away.
This is starting to sound lot like White Privilege. Let it go.

At some point, just wanting things to be good blurs into being a picky annoying jerk. Actually there's a lot of overlap.
Personally I wouldn't do it; I'd feel like I was being needlessly complainy.
