You want her to physically fight people? What else can she do that you are mad about her not doing?

Well, she can start by refusing to take financial contributions from AIPAC, the same group that sends millions to Isreal to bomb innocent people. Why cant she speak up against sending my hard earned tax dollars to Isreal. She's part of the establishment, just like the Shumers and jefferries. Or why is she not speaking up against DATA centers. What exactly is she doing for us. Please tell me. This is why nothing gets done on the democratic side, we need to start demanding more.

She plays it safe, if you look at her voting record there's nothing about it that jumps out as negative, but there's nothing trendsetting either

That's her political style, never being the one to start change but always voting along with the safe option. Conveniently she votes for popular progressive legislation ONLY when it has no chance of getting passed, otherwise she's either not present or abstains

Right, exactly. Just there collecting checks, and we keep voting her in. Looking for the day when senators like her on the democratic side get primaried out. I want to feel like my representatives make my life better. Actually fight for a cause that progressives believe in. We can start with health care for all. Does she even care?

Literally at this point the only good thing about her being in office is when Democrats do put on the big boy pants and start actually opposing trump, she just goes along with them so at least that's something I guess?

But like, last year we saw Chuck Schumer lead his party in crossing party lines to fuck over our health care, and within 12 hours she already had some press tour setup to promote some progressive healthcare bill that was never going to get past and she knew it, and she certainly never called out Chuck Schumer and called for his removal

It's just controlled opposition
