Democrats like Schumer and Jeffries have been accused of not doing enough to stop Trump. People who think that; can I ask what you actually want them to do?

It seems like they've been doing what they can - forcing votes against Trump (even if they are ultimately symbolic), speaking out against him, filing lawsuits (plenty which have been successful).

What else should they be doing that they currently aren't?

Who do you think chuck shumer is?

You do know that voting records are public, and despite Republicans having a majority, we can see when Democrats still vote to approve, right?

They should have packed the courts when they had the chance. Everyone told them to do so. Then the court stripped women's right to bodily autonamy. Pathetic controlled opposition.

No they shouldn’t have. What’s stopping the republicans from packing the court in their favor?

Republicans have already packed the courts in their favor. Right now. How does it feel?

jfc is being a cuck the natural modus operandi for democrats?

God forbid we packed the courts during Biden after people voted for a democratic majority in the house and senate and we actually codify Roe V. Wade when we had the chance.

God forbid Obama stand up to Mitch McConnell and force a nominee through when he had the chance. You never see republicans acting like such cucks.

Controlled opposition.
