Why don't one of them run? Oh they aren't viable candidates? Then you work with what you got.
It's not like democrats just happened to have this happen to them, they actively pushed for this in 2020 when they told all the candidates they could to drop and support Biden while paying for a PAC to keep Warren in the race to split votes with Sanders. They worked harder to fight Sanders than they did to fight Trump. Then democrats made sure to make the 2024 primary as one-tracked as possible, in the name of "unity". The democrats made their bed and they were content with lying in it until Biden shat in it and they woke up from their little bubble. It's not like Biden was doing amazing before this, but his debate performance was so bad, even democrats steeped in the kool-aid could see how decrepit their beloved candidate is.
The scary part is that we're so far deep in this shit that I don't know if it's even possible to back out. It's an oncoming train collision which had its course set back in 2020 (or perhaps even 2016) that many could see coming but democrats chose to ignore because they place upholding the status quo for their donors as the highest priority.
