The "age thing" is the biggest hurdle and the perception that Joe isn't "progressive enough" so a younger person at the forefront with all of Joe's experience in the wings and essentially 2 Presidential level candidates on the ticket will bring back a lot of people that are looking at Kennedy, Phillips, Williamson, West or Stein.
People whose only arguments are on age and messaging and Republicans who don't want tRUMP or Independents won't see this as "throwing away" their votes.
Age is the ONLY consistent reason Democrats are giving in these polls but there are some wanting more progressive actions as well. Having Joe still working in the background on everything we need while Kamala has the conversation and draws more people in....
I mean, even having Joe as VP, you'd still see his worth and give him a chance to Dark Brandon it, wouldn't you?
