I think there’s two important things: Biden in 2024 is not Biden in 2020. That’s just a thing you can visibly see with your eyes, as strongly evidenced by the debate. (Now imagine endless TV ads and viral clips comparing how he was to how he is now, making “cognitive decline” not just a right wing meme, but something that is very visibly actually true).

As for the alternatives like Warren etc, I think it’s still the case that they would probably lose to Trump for the same reasons they wouldn’t have won in 2020. But changing candidate the only roll of the dice the Democrats have left. Hopefully they’ll pick some boring swing state governor British people have never heard of, rather than AOC or whoever.
