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?

They won't! I can tell you right now, as people who have mainly supported @TheDemocrats since what seems like time immemorial, my wife, @pureprissy &, I are leaning towards not voting in 2024. They really aren't doing anything accept what should've done with #COVID19. That's it!

Winning is not their goal, nor is helping people. Being able to comfortably do nothing and b*tch about/blame Republicans is all they know how to do.

If Dems would speak honestly about the policies Americans need and desire, promise credibly to fight for them, and then actually USE THEIR POWER to leverage these things, they would never, ever lose another election to anything like a Republican, ever, filibuster notwithstanding.

Most of these things don't require ending the filibuster. You just want to run interference for them.

They don’t care about winning 2022. They want Kevin McCarthy to become speaker so they have an excuse to remove the entire squad from committees

They don't want to win. The bold legislation required to fix this country is bad for their corporate donors.

It's almost like they don't want to win in 2022.

They had every chance to fight to have the $15 minimum wage included in the rescue plan, but didn't. And now Biden has all but abandoned both that and the public option that he campaigned on. Simply put: they don't WANT to accomplish anything.
