If multiple miracles were to happen and the democrats were to gain seats in the senate so they had a, say, 53-47 majority - I'm 100% certain they'd still not kill the filibuster. They'd waste more two years and accomplish nothing. The republicans would filibuster every bill and every time like clockwork the dems would say "Gosh, we thought we might get to 60 votes this time. We'll try again next time!"
And for 2024 - Biden will say (if he didn't die of old age already) - "We're almost there. Give us 60 senators and on a federal level we'll work to give you back reproductive rights. And we'll try to make Interracial marriage legal again in every state. And same sex marriage too. And we'll try like the dickens to stop criminals, disabled people or BIPOC folks from being forcibly sterilized. Heck, using a condom - pardon my French, Sister Mary- will probably no longer be a felony in nearly all states. All ya gotta do is empower us to 60 senators to help you. Remember: 60 to Help you."
And when the republicans want to pass the selling americas kidneys to buy aircraft carriers act with a 49 + manchin vote majority miraculously the filibuster disappears
