Looking back I think what killed democrats' chances was Joe Manchin & Kyrsten Sinema preventing democrats from enacting popular legislation early on. Those 2 abused the fact Dems had a very narrow majority in the Senate and made the Democrats into the "do-nothings democrats" Trump was claiming earlier, both making Democrats unpopular and giving credibility back to Trump and Republicans after January 6.
Joe Machin especially was claiming "We can't do away with filibuster because if we do then Republicans will also do it". yeah right -_- like anybody is believing Republicans will take the high road and work with a filibuster in place. They'll remove at first opportunities.
