If the Democrats don’t get rid of the filibuster then how can they accomplish the things that need get accomplished in order for them to win in 2022?

I realize I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but the answer is (of course) that Democrats don't really exist to exercise power so much as to co-opt and neutralize any bona fide threats to corporate power. Losing in 2022 is fine.

#Democrats have no intention of winning in '22. They embrace their Washington Generals role. That's their comfort zone.

They don’t want to win. They want a divided Congress so they can work with Republicans to serve their donors while invoking “obstruction” when it comes to policy for the people.

100% this needs to happen or Dems are done in 2022 🔥 Also, Can you give @AndrewYang a little love? He's getting crucified in the NYC media. You know what's it's like to have a well funded propaganda campaign smear you

They don’t want to end the filibuster and they don’t want to win in 2022. It’s easier to raise money when you’re the minority party.

Reasonable question if you assume they want to win. But what if they don't?

What's the point of them winning in '22 if they aren't going 2 use the power they have for the benefit of the People? They WANT 2 lose. When they win, we expect them 2 do things their donors don't like. They don't want 2 anger their corporate masters. If they lose, they blame Rs.
