I'm not American so I am clueless about US politics. 

Why doesnt democrats just put another candidate since you know.. Biden is very likely gonna lose this election

They want to, but Biden is refusing to step down, because he knows his replacement won't be so favourable towards Israel. He would rather let Trump win because Trump will do anything Netanyahu asks.

Which potential replacements would be less favourable to Israel?

You guys have made this *entire* election about Gaza, its absolutely bizarre. 

Biden won't stop down because it will create an impression of the Democrats being weak, and because the most likely replacement would be Harris, who has even lower ratings and far less influence than Biden. Either that or they risk running a leadership race which could potentially turn nasty and, again, present the impression of weakness and chaos.

Sanders is top of the list of replacements, after Harris who I don't think has any chance of winning. Whichever candidate it is, they could never match Biden's absolute singleminded devotion to Israel.

It's not "us guys" who have made the entire election about Gaza. It's AIPAC.

I love Bernie, but he's 82 - literally older than Biden. Can we start getting someone who has a decent shot of *not* dying in office on the ballot? Besides, the optics of replacing Biden because he's old and senile with a man who is even older is...not great.

Yes I'd run AOC with Sanders for VP
