I actually think she does quite a bit behind the scenes for constituents. She has a pretty responsive office for a variety of administrative issues (passports, social security, etc).

Also like it or not as far as how congress works for democrats, but she’s had a long tenure (she’s in the 30s out of 434 members?) and that gets seniority for committees and leadership.

As someone who sits in a politically safe district, I would expect her to go out on a limb more and be a stronger voice for progressive values. Especially because she represents one of the most progressive areas of the country. Instead, she's a background player at best and it seems that she has adopted senior citizen's issues as the only cause that she is focused on. To your point about her long tenure – with the election results behind us, I believe the democratic party needs to find new voices and new energy.
