I want to push...

raise somewhere. i make it $22 on flop (fold to 3b over $60)

as played i think this is pretty -ev, you don't get explicit odds on flop/turn and then you don't get your implied odds on river (if you have any/are ahead)

i have a hard time pulling the trigger in these situations, but my take is you should raise on the flop.
1) it might make some better hands fold (88-JJ) or others
2) it might get you a free card or slow down the betting
3) more money in the pot if you hit your draw
4) helps define your hand before the turn and river bets

on the other hand, in reality i have a tendency to just call these hands down myself.

you don't get pot odds by calling down on flop and turn and you rarely have the implied odds to do so, you have to put a raise in somewhere.
