I’m mystified by these demands for “more!!”

Democrats have no power at the federal level. There is nothing they can do legislatively except persuade a handful of republicans to basically end their political careers by voting against Trump.

All they can do is messaging and marketing on the hopes that an election in 20 months goes well.
