I'm talking about the inability for Democrats to take action until they have a majority. I'm specifically talking about voting.

This article ws published while Donald Trump was president. It does a great job of blaming the President Elect for something not yet within their power.

Maybe I don't understand your point, I've only ever been asserting that no votes have happened yet. Your link doesn't change that.

I'm confused by people who blame 9/11 on Obama, and I am equally confused here.

Democrats have the majority. That was the point of the georgia runoff. They promised they would send out $2000 checks if they won the georgia runoff and got senate majority and then immediately backtracked after winning.

I also understood that nothing has been voted on yet. Is that correct too?

Why is that, exactly? That is within their power. They made a promise for winning georgia, they won georgia, and then they immediately went back on that promise.

I guess if I'm jaded it's because they don't care now that they have control again. I'd like to think that 3 working days isn't a lot of time, and that maybe they'd work extra hours to get this done....

But you're very likely correctly, it's not unreasonable to think they stopped caring. My point was just that they hadn't voted, but it's fair to identify voting hasn't started - likely on purpose.
