Don't have a genocidal sundowning segregationist nominated without a rank-and-file voting process with multiple candidates. Or accept that you are not really in charge of any of this when it comes to The Democratic Party and therefore you should place your political focus on ways to build and wield power that do not depend on it.

ways to build and wield power that do not depend on it.

How would one go about it? Would be useful if it's in a general context, as I'm not a North American.

Biden bombs wherever his campaign is located for suspected nuclear IEDs. In 25 years when congress is still investigating he'll be dead too so the SC ruling that it wasn't an "official act" will be moot as they can throw the bones in a jail cell for however long they want.

Don't bother.

Instead, start preparing for the inevitable:

Move to a battleground state and vote there where your vote matters more.

Convince Biden to drop out of the race about a week before the Democratic National Convention, citing health reasons, and name a millennial candidate who grew up on a farm with wind turbines and solar panels, before enlisting for 2+ terms, and moving to a middle-class area of a blue state after separating. Turn the convention into a media frenzy, energizing the Democratic base.

Undercuts Trump among rural Americans and veterans. Reverses all of Trump's old and senile attacks against Biden, as he suddenly becomes the geriatric candidate. Keeps all of Biden's supporters, while stepping away from the "genocide" criticism.

Basically, if Biden backs out a week before the convention and names someone in their 40's, they can run on a platform of "Ok, boomer" and reach 270.

Maybe only Trump himself?
