That "gets nothing done" might be a common thread in some outlets because she's a lightning rod - but she's actually been very active in pushing through legislation and is basically responsible for the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She's sponsored/created/co-sponsored 36 different bills - largely around protecting consumers and limiting big banks (obviously, she has some focus there), and she's REALLY effective at raising money for the Democratic party.

In my opinion, I don't think she's presidential material at the moment but I don't think it's genuine to state that she "gets nothing actually accomplished".
