I can focus both on Trump and the Democrats who enable him. And doing things to prevent something, even if it doesn't work, is far better optics for the election than "well I couldn't do anything to stop Trump so I didn't try, now please vote for me so I can stop Trump" And like, that's the thing, if your goal is "Get Trump out of office" then Pelosi is doing a far worse job of convincing others to vote by doing nothing. We unfortunately live in a place where saying "look at the horrible things Trump did" does not energize people to vote. If we rely solely on that, especially if it looks like the democrats are fine with it continuing by not doing anything, then we will lose 2020
