The Democrats could change things now, but they aren’t.
Not doing anything is being complicit
How? What, exactly, are they not doing? They lack control of Congress and the Supreme Court. Anything Biden tries that would limit it would wind up struct down by the Federal courts. At least that’s my view, so please, by all means, explain to me how the Democrats are doing nothing and are complicit.
Biden could be using executive orders AND be pressing for more supreme court seats. That’s without mentioning the hard tac he should have taken against sinema and manchin.
So doing the same thing Trump was rightly criticized for. Gotcha.
The Senate is not filibuster proof, so making a change like adding Supreme Court seats would never fly. Speaking of that, with the razor slim majority the Dems have there, taking a hard tack against Sinema and Manchin would have been like arguing with a shotgun whose trigger had been pulled not to blow your head off. Or do you think Sinema and Manchin are idiots who didn’t know they could get their bread buttered from either side of the aisle and still come out smelling like roses? Those two held all the power and they knew it.
When fascists are knocking at the door, the time to play nice has passed.
Trump was on track to have the most executive orders in the recent past. Obama, bush and Clinton all had more.
Executive orders are an integral part of any presidency. It’s literally how each president makes their mark
So use desperate strongman measures to prop up democracy lest it would fall to the fascists?
Have you ever read about the last three democratically elected administrations of the Weimar Republic, and how they tried to use increasingly desperate measures like emergency orders to prevent the Republic from falling - which paved the way for the National Socialists to simply use the established standard and bypass Parliament completely once they were in power?
What could they change?
What they can do is win the election in a big way, and finally discredit Trumpism.
