Democrats should not recognize him as President of the United States. Of course, that would be against all the rules of democracy. But, that is what the Republicans did in the last election. They did not recognize the true winner of the election.
The difference being that Joe Biden was not a convicted criminal with 91 felony charges levied against him. He did not try to hoodwink the American people. How could any reasonable person support a president with such a record?
In my opinion, Democrats should declare now that they will not support Donald Trump if he is the elected president in the next election. There is no pretending to be "normal". His entire campaign is built on lies and illegitimacy. It would be wrong to try and "normalize" it, no matter how the next election might turn out.
We cannot pretend that we should follow the "rules of democracy" when the other side has no respect at all for "democracy".
In my opinion, if something so disastrous as a Trump victory were to happen, the Democratic Party should declare themselves the ruling Party in exile. There should be no cooperation with a criminal such as Trump, the rules of democracy be damned.
