I'll walk that back - I think at some point I mixed up the hearings on RFK and Gaetz, so I gave the wrong name there. I apologize for that.
But even then, for RFK I read articles specifically highlighting the Democrat initiative to hold the floor; and the final vote came out along party lines (excepting some R senators that rebelled). So it sounds like the unanimous consent topic you're referring to is on regular Senate work, not the confirmation. You specifically said they've "fast tracked his appointments" and I'm trying to understand that claim. To me, I'm more convinced that Democrats have political experience telling them that Indivisible's plan is too easy to backfire, too easy for media to twist against them, and get them forcibly removed from office; especially since their efforts at filibustering have shown they're not beyond putting in effort.
Given there's clearly a differing view on what we're talking about, I'll apologize for calling you a liar, but it still doesn't seem like a claim that makes sense to me.
