Trump has been doing everything via executive orders which is why he has been able to bypass everything. I do agree that executive orders need to be nerfed if we ever get out of this mess. The problem with Democrats is that they play by the rules and Republicans don't, thus why Biden never spammed executive orders. Though it might all come back to haunt Trump eventually since there's thousands of lawsuits filed against him for all the times he misused executive orders. That's just wishful thinking on my part though.
"Mishandled" was perhaps oversimplifying a little too hard, but it's not like the genocide was strictly committed by the Biden Administration. Biden's sin was only making a public statement for Israel to "improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza" and then continuing to send military aid anyway.
He'll die before any of those consequences matter. His fascist successor will probably rinse the next Democratic nominee because the Democrats don't intend to change anything or make any of the changes you're talking about happen. It's a million times more realistic to hope that the United States splits into multiple incoherent territories that are no longer able to terrorize the rest of the world than hope the Democratic Party suddenly turns around and become the opposite of what it has been during essentially its whole existence (maybe except for the minute that Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights act).
