She should be doing.....
The following excerpt is from an online news magazine:
I don’t doubt Chastain’s good intentions. What I doubt is how thoroughly she understands what her role as an actual ally should be, and how her own response to this demonstrates the very privilege she should be doing her part to fight against.
My question is this:
Would the meaning of the sentence have changed if the writer had written, "She should do....."?
Thank you.
