    I generally assume that whichever option the propaganda-machine is pushing hard is probably the worse option

    It’s not quite that simple; calling for Biden’s replacement (without any particular plan for what that might look like) can be a way to attack Biden even if there is a strategic way to do it that might be worth the risk. But, all other things being equal, whichever option is what your enemies are constantly talking about as the only logical choice can be assumed to be the worse choice.
