1. you need to help elect a Democratic majority

...there's little they can do with an insufficient number of them to organize a majority to move legislation.

They can't even issue subpoenas in the minority.

Elect more Democrats. Support Democrats in elections.

Don't expect a minority of them to be able to effectively defend against a fascist majority of republicans now ensconsed in ALL branches of the federal government.

Dems who didn't show up on election day left the nation virtually defenseless.

Take to the streets. Keep the heat on republicans, none of them actually inviolable to political pressure.

Democrats in states have been filing court challenges to restrictions placed on their voting by republican state legislators. That's a good place to look for progress and protections.
