The 2000 election hinged on Florida and hanging chads.
After 8 years of the "Cheney administration", "hope and change" denied Hillary Clinton the nomination, and Democrats regained control of Congress two years later. The change was less than stellar, but people still had hope.

After 8 years of the "Cheney administration", "hope and change" denied Hillary Clinton the nomination, and Democrats regained control of Congress two years later. The change was less than stellar, but people still had hope.
By 2016, after Republicans had blocked Merrick Garland's appointment to the SCOTUS, Democratic superdelegates were all in for Hillary from the get go, but momentum favored Bernie Sanders. Why not place some blame there?
Hillary was status quo, as were the likes of Jeb Bush. Voters were still hungry for change, and Trump's messaging struck a chord. What a sad commentary on the state of American politics at the highest level.
Perhaps, Biden should have followed LBJ and stepped aside as a "transitional" candidate. One thing is for sure, if Trump survives the Republican convention, this election will be a watershed event in America's history.
Isn't it ironic that Liz Cheney has been ostracized while Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio kiss the ring?
Maybe we should be placing more emphasis on neutralizing people like Matt Gaetz, Loren Bobert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tom Cotton, and Jim Jordan, et al.
There have been numerous attempts to educate people like you as to why a "step aside" will not work, and why anyone who "stepped in" would have to develop things from the bottom up, since they would not inherit the support system. What part of all the things the Biden Administration has done - lowest unemployment in 55 years, major investments in infrastructure and government operation, getting rid of "junk fees," policing corporate M&A, managing the pandemic successfully, serious efforts to mitigate climate change, etc. - do you dislike?
What's not to like when the government subsidizes health insurance companies to deny care. In states that expanded Medicaid, most doctors won't treat due to low reimbursement rates. In states not expanding Medicaid, the uninsured be damned. The homeless population increases, while tax cuts for the wealthiest not only remain in place over time, they are periodically expanded. These are but the most glaring shortcoming that go unaddressed, while both sides of the political duopoly are hell bent on convincing the peasants that if only "our" party had control, everything would be alright. Sadly, we get the government we deserve.
Let's not forget about those who do not vote.
