These are all things that I would like to be true, but every election in my adult lifetime has been a learning over and over that the things I want to be true aren't and that voters don't process information or behave in the ways that I process information and behave. I'm not trying to be glib about this, I'm really serious: the reason I haven't gotten on the "replace Biden" train is because all of the arguments I've heard sound like they depend on voters as a masse paying basic attention to politics and making decisions informed by accurate information. Do we have any actual evidence that rank and file voters, who do not read op-eds in NYT and WSJ, who do not post about politics on social media, who can barely tell you what happens in Washington in a given year let alone a given month, are actually expressing any sentiment that they want to replace Biden and would rally around a new figure? What I've seen so far is a lot of dissatisfaction with Biden but that does not necessarily imply those other two points and I feel like there's a lot of, frankly, wishful thinking about how people are going to react going around.

Why don't you just rig the election again like you did in 2020? That should resolve all of these concerns quite handily.
