The best options have passed us by, which I think is pretty indicative of the party at large Wait too long to do anything proactive, be stuck on the reactive foot, panic, concede ideological ground, rinse, repeat

the dominant narrative on Twitter right now is that Dems are cowards for not coming out against Biden. but even if you think he should step aside, the calculus is tricky. if you call him out and he stays, all you’ve really done is hurt the party’s chances. not an easy call.
