I suppose we’re heading to “we want to ban abortion nationwide but the filibuster won’t let us, elect more Republican senators.”
I will be so pissed if the Republicans are the ones who wind up ending the filibuster instead. I don't know if that will vindicate Manchin and Sinema or implicate them more. I'm leaning towards the latter because if Democrats got rid of it we would at least have been able to pass legislation to weaken the negative effects of a future, filibusterless, Republican Majority such as DC and Puerto Rican statehood, voting reforms, etc.
