It's certainly not a debate point, and - frankly - ignoring this most basic of economic issues ( planetary sustainability ) is a recipe for both short and long term disaster. Other issues may drive the electorants to the polls (inflation, border security, the dangers of a second Trump term) but this undeniable equation will ultimately decide the fate of Humanity and our Endangered Planet.

Today, we saw Democracy and the Rule of Law shredded, as Trump's SCOTUS rules for limited immunity. The concluding dissension by SCOTUS Justice Sonya Sodamyier to today's conservative majority opinion:

"Stated simply: The Court has now declared for the first
time in history that the most powerful official in the United
States can (under circumstances yet to be fully determined)
become a law unto himself. As we enter this uncharted territory, the People, in their wisdom, will need to remain ever
attentive, consistently fulfilling their established role in our
constitutional democracy, and thus collectively serving as
the ultimate safeguard against any chaos spawned by this
Court’s decision. For, like our democracy, our Constitution
is “the creature of their will, and lives only by their will.”
Cohens v. Virginia, 6 Wheat. 264, 389 (1821).

For my part, I simply cannot abide the majority’s senseless discarding of a model of accountability for criminal acts
that treats every citizen of this country as being equally
subject to the law—as the Rule of Law requires. That core
principle has long prevented our Nation from devolving into
despotism. Yet the Court now opts to let down the guardrails of the law for one extremely powerful category of citizen: any future President who has the will to flout Congress’s established boundaries."

If I were Joe Biden, I'd use today's ruling at once to fulfill his assigned Presidential Duty to 'Protect, preserve and defend the Constitution' by arresting and imprisoning 45 as a direct threat. After all, it's an 'official duty', right?
