They were given a majority in Congress with the expectation that they would do something other than simply trying to wait out the most criminal administration this nation has ever seen.

I don't remember "We're just going to wait it out" being one of the Democrats' campaign slogans in the runup to the last elections.

We were told that elections have consequences by the Democratic leadership and that meant subpoena power and yet absolutely nothing has come of it.

Conyers was a champion for investigations while in the minority, holding hearings in what was no more than a  broom closet pre 2006 and standing up when republicans literally cut his microphone off at times, and yet now he is silent.

Sibel Edmonds got an interview with 60 minutes to try and tell her story, and Henry Waxman indictaed that if not for the republican majority in Congress, she would have a chance to tell what she knows publicly, but now with the Fdemocrats in the majority, Waxman is silent.

Democrats can't stop any legislation in the Senate that gets 51 votes, yet they've cut a deal that requires 60 votes to get their own legislation passed.

All of these issues could be addressed tomorrow if only the Democratic leadership had the will to do so.  But they don't.  Which makes them either stupid, cowardly, or complicit.

At this point, complicit seems the most logical answer.
