If you ask me what’s absurd is clinging on to Biden against all the evidence. He’s clearly super unpopular, and that’s in no small part to his age.
He must step aside and basically any halfway reasonable candidate under 60 would be in with a decent shot of the job. Give the population something to vote for rather than vote against.
There wouldn’t be new primaries. Biden’s pledged delegates would be released to do whatever they want. Obviously that has its own share of, small d, democratic concerns, but the better choice if you ask me.
