Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

Stop? How would federal Democrats do anything to state Republicans?
Enforce the Constitution against them. Reform SCOTUS by appointing more judges. (In the past even this threat was enough to bring SCOTUS around) We have rights and it's blindingly apparent the Democrats aren't willing to do more to protect them than ask the people violating them to stop in a polite manner.
And that's on the issues they claim to care about. On other things they are actively causing harm.
Oh so just change the entire framework of how states interact with the federal government. Cool.
I'm all for the adjustments you mentioned, but it's unreasonable to suggest all that is possible in one term, right now, based on this vote.
It's gonna take years of building legitimate progressive candidates, That's where the work is. It also comes from downticket mandate. Republicans are gobbling up every small posting, seen and unseen, and use that to drive policy and action.
The 14th amendment enforces the Constitution against the states. Has done since the civil rights era. This isn't anything new. In fact Biden's inaction is the new thing.
