    Get outta here with that negativity. It’s the first sign of life from Senate Democrats, and taking a moral stance against Trump is still important. We need more of this, not less.

      They’re doing plenty more than this, but they’re not self-promoting enough for people to notice. Democrats voted and spoke out against Trump’s cabinet nominations, forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s executive order, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance is low, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts. They are doing everything they can to stop this from the minority.
