...representing the nearly half of the Senate that Democrats sent to D.C. without the power to do more than just talk. So it's really disingenuous to crack on Shumer or any Democrat in Congress for their inability to effect anything legislativly on their own initiative.
It's just specious criticism, and it's not actual advocacy for anything they're working to effect.
I refuse to take seriously folks' critique of Democratic legislators' efforts that comes with nothing but personal derision of actual Democratic action; nitpicking legislative resistance to republicans and Trump that so many insist isn't happening, then complaining that it's not enough.
I seriously don't know who all that's supposed to be directed to. Not me.
I will discuss and possibly debate actual legislation that many people bother to, or manage to, look up and post.
Your assertion that Democrats shouldn't make demands because they can't effect legislation right now with their own votes in the minority is absurd; essentially a misunderstanding of their minority role, and apparent misunderstanding of the entire political system of government.
I'll leave it here.
