What can the Democrats do here, really? There's no mechanism for stopping a president who will just blatantly break the law with his party lined up behind him. It's a failure of the Constitution more than anything.
I don't see any obvious solution that they just aren't doing for some reason.
They could call on their base to do direct action.
Direct action like...? There's a big difference between (rightly) saying we need something other than electoralism and identifying what that something is. Are we going to occupy post offices from now until Election Day? Are we going to call on the National Guard to do that? Is a country that easily fell in line behind Biden going to sign up if they start planning an armed insurrection?
If there's a workable plan they're ignoring that's one thing, but I don't see any clear path forward. Every option is bad and could easily make the situation worse.
Sounds like "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas," to be honest.
For starters, they could encourage Mass demonstrations against defunding. It's literally one of the first steps in opposing something outside of voting.
There are any of a hundred other things they could do, but they don't.
Republicans were never going to remove Trump from office through impeachment. The libs were silly to play that card on Hunter Fucking Biden, but it wouldn't have taken Trump out whenever they played it.

Organize beyond electoralism. They could call on their base to do direct action.
The same as most orgs.
But it hurts their power, as it shows that work outside electoralism effects chance. So they'll never do that.

Maybe they could break the law about it.
I'm all for it, but how? What power would they have to enforce whatever they attempt to do?
