The vote does nothing except cost Democrats political capital. Also funny you think they could force a vote on anything.
They already run on that.
Idk what kind of twitter tankie hugbox you’ve been in, but the Democrats oppose this war in every way they can. They have been the only ones telling the public what’s actually going on.
A few of the more radical ones may say it, but the leadership certainly doesn’t.

The democrats were gaining political capital when they shut down the government over cuts to healthcare. The polls were showing people were (rightly) blaming the republicans for the shutdown. The democrats randomly decided to stop fighting when they were winning.
They could definitely make a bigger stink about the war being illegal. Which would put pressure on republicans to put it to a vote.

I’ve already given specific examples of how I think they could be better. Why are you so angry when I’m pointing out a way democrats could be more effective?
The strategy the democrats are taking has caused them to lose to an orange fascist in 2 of the last 3 elections. Why should we continue running a strategy that already failed multiple times?
They could shutdown the government because republicans needed their votes to pass a new budget. There is no new budget to pass. They can’t shut it down. They are the minority in a congress that doesn’t try to pass laws, since trump runs everything via executive order. THEY CAN NOT DO THAT. Why not just impeach Trump, if we’re already asking for impossible things?

You keep attacking a straw-man of what I said.
Do you believe in democracy?
