Genuinely curious what people want the Democrats to specifically do right now, apart from vague calls of “something” and “more” and “better.” At least on a federal level, aren’t they pretty much powerless at this point? What even can they do?

When eighty million Americans sat out the election they sent a pretty clear message that they’re okay with whatever Trump and Co wants to do.

No, they sent a message saying “Both of these choices suck, badly.”

Bo, the6 sent the message of "both of these are atrocious human beings, so I will support neither "

By choosing neither they threw their full support behind the winner which was Trump.

There is blood on their hands from the choice they made.

I always find it telling when someone blames the people who couldn’t stomach to vote for an openly corrupt, genocidal party, instead of blaming the leadership of the party for being openly corrupt and genocidal.

There were two choices and by not being able to see that reality they helped the worse choice get power.

Well, there were a few choices, not two. They also didn’t “help”, by definition. They sat back and watched. And while I disagree with standing back and watching, I can’t blame them for looking at a shit-sandwich, and a shit-sandwich with sprinkles and deciding not to waste their time on either.
