This narrative is horseshit. People only think there's not enough time because Americans think an election is supposed to be four years long. Other countries are more than capable of calling for and finishing their elections in less than a few months.

It's almost like there's a convention where all the Democrats are going to be at, where there could be a series of debates that could either demonstrate Biden's ability to inspire the party, or find someone who can. If only all of the country's current Democratic representatives were there, we could almost have something like a representative democracy.

What's actually happening is the DNC doesn't care, thinks they still have this election in the bag, and just want to ram Biden through irregardless of what members of the public or his own party think or say. They already fucked up by refusing a legitimate primary process, and now their play is to claim their hands are tied. We have 4 months until November; there is time.

Consider the last months before election. Congress is held up by Republicans on public hearings related to the Trump shooting. Trump is holding rallies. Meanwhile the Biden campaign has to limit the nr of Biden appearances due to old age. To defeat the Reps we need a candidate that can be in the spotlight 24/7, and Biden cannot do that job. That’s why changing the candidate is essential.

And how would we get them in the ballot in 50 states in late July? That is an impossibility.

I don't disagree with you, but this is a little misleading. Whoever the Democratic Party nominates will be on the ballot. They don't need to gather signatures or anything like that to gain ballot access. They could nominate Harris tomorrow and she would be on the ballot.

Agreed that we hear a lot of this "we need to replace Biden if we want to win" that did not exist prior to the debate. It makes me wonder how much of the confusion is manufactured by outside influencers (just like in 2016) because all the dictators of the world would love to have Trump running the show again. They get anything they want while Trump strips the US for parts and installs his kids to govern over all that can't escape. He eventually loses the remaining "him" that is left and sits in his money like Scrooge McDuck with full on dementia unaware of what is even going on or where he is.

To poorly quote John Oliver, if Britain and France can do it, so can we.

538 has Biden leading by a nose.

Can you link what you're citing? If it's national polling, Biden appears to be trailing by a nose.

EDIT: I think I found the link corroborating what you said.

Ohio passed a law moving the deadline from Aug 7 to Aug 31, but technically that law does not take effect until Sep 1.

No law passed by the general assembly shall go into effect until ninety days after it shall have been filed by the governor in the office of the secretary of state

So the reason to do a virtual roll call is to prevent legal shenanigans from the Trump campaign.

wanders around aimlessly

Kinda like Biden?
