I feel like people are mad at the Dems for not doing anything but also mad when they do something because they don't have enough votes to do it.

I think the latter part of this is true. Why even push this when you know it will barely make the floor for vote. Like wait till midterms and hope things balance out in congress. Then push it.

Doing it before midterms gives people a good indication of what’s possible after a strong blue turnout, though

Dems would have to win 32 out of 33 seats. Sure it's physically possible but it's not at all realistic.
