Old Arab proverb: The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
Or, to quote Pete Buttigieg, who has been stepping up to the moment recently:
The outgoing Administration's failure to accept @JoeBiden's election is one last, dangerous attempt to undermine our democracy.
It will fail.
The President-elect & Vice President-elect are already working to tackle the urgent challenges we face, and will not be distracted.

We are not leaderless. Biden may not be sworn in, but the vast majority of the country, and of foreign countries, recognizes that he was elected. He therefore wields the moral power of the elected office, which is no small thing.
