That’s odd because the only reason there’s leverage to remove Biden is because the party thought he wasn’t progressive enough in terms of Gaza.
Removing him because of his terrible debate is only politically feasible for Democrats because he has been losing in head-to-head polls since almost exactly October 7th.
I think AOC and Sanders are probably thinking of something else. My hunch, is they assume Republicans will challenge the existence of any Democrat on the ballot not named Joe Biden for some sort of rules violation, the decision will go to the Supreme Court, and the court will decide on returning 45 to the White House.
538 has Biden leading by a nose.
Can you link what you’re citing? If it’s national polling, Biden appears to be trailing by a nose.
EDIT: I think I found the link corroborating what you said.

That hasn’t been my experience in any thread that I’ve seen.
I decided to look for examples of threads and most had neutral comments and some comments agreeing with my memory events.
This is a weird headline generally, but it’s even weirder given that a UK outlet wrote it.
few of us expect Democrats to lose the popular vote
Anything is possible. Long before the debate, national polling for Biden has been significantly worse than he performed in 2020 and Clinton in 2016.
