True, I don't think Biden is ready to start assassinating political
opponents, but if he remains the nominee then he still has to debate
Trump two more times. I'm certainly not looking forward to that but if
I were Biden I'd look Trump straight in the eye and ask him one question:
"You've indicated that you approve of the recent Supreme Court ruling,
therefore do you really think that because being Commander In Chief is
part of my official duties it would be perfectly legal if right now on
live TV I ordered Seal Team Six to put a bullet in your brain?"
Incidentally I'd like to ask six of the nine justices on the Supreme
Court a similar question.

Yes, but even better would be if Biden simply released his delegates
and the Democrats had an open convention which would decide who their
presidential candidate would be. The world would be transfixed during
those four days, and in this case I think that would be a good thing.
Yeah, I've thought about that too. It would make for good TV. But
I'm not sure about the campaign money of Biden/Harris. I don't think
they can legally give it to anyone else or even to the DNC.

just furnished him, to pursue retribution, authoritarian goals,

What we have right now is a novel SCOTUS-approved presidential
superpower, as Sotomayor points out in her dissent. A President
just has to make anything he wants to do "official." The slow but
definite slide into authoritarianism is apparently underway. Game
theory suggests seizing any advantage and initiative immediately,
and with Trump immediately seeking relief from his conviction,
based on the SCOTUS immunity ruling, I don’t see why Biden
couldn’t make use of them now. Use the powers granted by SCOTUS
to indict and arrest MagaMan as orchestrator, and SCOTUS justices
Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett for accomplice liability that led
to Jan 6. Use the DOJ and make it an "official act" towards
protecting democracy.
I know, I know: pitchforks, large risk, and perhaps a
constitutional crisis. Yet, invoking such a move is proof of the
vast overreach of those justices, the lack of respect for rule of
law of that ruling, and the felon of the moment taking immediate
advantage. Democrats should leverage this somehow.

If only I could wake up and realize it was all just a
horrible dream! But the reality is If Biden remains the
Democratic candidate then Trump is going to win in a
landslide, and the majority of the House and Senate will be
Republican and incorporated into the Trump hive mind. And
Trump already has the Supreme Court in his pocket. But if
another Democrat, almost any other Democrat, is the candidate
then American democracy would at least have a fighting chance
of surviving.
