Anyone waiting on the Democrats to be an opposition shouldn't expect much. Don't be surprised if or when the Democrats (starting with the high-level establishment) start joining the Republicans outright and pushing this society toward a more openly one-party state.

No one has to do the Democrats' job for them and tell them about the tools at their disposal. Do you think the Republicans are the only ones who know how the system works? 'If they wanted to, they would' applies to US party politics too. They've been like this and only gotten worse for years.

Why stop evil when you can legitimize it and say you'll manage it better? That's the essence of the Democratic Party, and unfortunately, they've turned much of their base into a powerless tumbleweed that goes wherever the furthest-right wind blows it.
