Running against Biden meant throwing out the biggest indicator for success against a “worst case scenario” opposition candidate. Incumbency is worth all the young guns waiting 4 years for their shot. Despite what you may have heard, nobody in DNC is more likely to win 2024 than Biden despite all the baggage and Republican hate.
Again, Biden is 81 years old. Talking about “young guns” seems a bit off, when the next generation is like in their 50s and 60s, which is more of the usual age for country running politicians.
It is perfectly expected for Biden to simply die of old age or become permanently disabled in office, because that is what people in their 80s do. One bad cold and it could be over for him. That is an insane risk to take for a nation like the US. And just because the republicans are insane fascists, the democrats shouldn’t be trying to meet them in insanity.

Seems irrelevant what category “young guns” represents.

And this is why Biden wanted to be a 1-term president, but Trump of all people making it to the general in 2024 made it impossible for him not to run for re-election.

Letting the president who got people to drink bleach have any leg-up in the election is a far more insane risk. His (note, not actually just his) Project 2025 plan involves a national abortion ban, reapportioning Congress towards republican seats, reversing gay marriage, betraying NATO, redefinition of the US as a Christian Nation, dismantling of all climate policies, expanding presidential power to be more absolute, and arguably ending Democracy in the US as we know it. Anyone who even pretends the last part of that is hyperbole has to at least admit it would be one of the most reactionary lunge-to-the-right-and-remove-rights initiatives we’ve seen in the last century, with no real Western comparisons.
Let’s say it together. Better an 81 year old politician than an actual fascist coup.
