No, they’re not. What happened to Obama’s scotus pick proves you can gum up this process and prevent appointments. And you can do it without losing voters.
The senate rules changed, if I remember correctly in 2013 and 2017, so that presidential appointments and scotus judges could not be filibustered. A simple majority can change the rules for the next congress and the majority party is Republican and the next congress will either be a Democrat majority or it will be a full on dictatorship.

Democrats are choosing to aide the trump admin.

Nobody is voting for another year and a half. And hardly anyone for another three and a half years. Democrats need to pick the battles that matter.
And by an astounding coincidence, none do.
Plenty do. There is another budget vote in less than half a year.
Oh cool. Like the continuing resolution they caved on.
Cynicism like this is why humanity is doomed. Or am I misreading you and you actually think things can (if not will) get better?
They didn’t betray you when they sided with trump.
I don’t follow.
When democrats caved and voted for trump’s continuing resolution, they betrayed the left. They didn’t betray you.
Empty optimism like yours which keeps the masses docile is why humanity is doomed.
What are you actually trying to say the solution is?
what are you saying the solution is? more of the same?
