GOP has a similar problem. The majority of Republicans preferred another candidate in 2016. But Drumpf’s plurality (and the lack of ranked-choice voting) means he won the nomination anyway. “a majority of Republicans currently say they would vote for Donald Trump, even if he is convicted of a crime.”--NPR
Biden has shown that he is acceptable to the majority of Dems. (76% of Dems approve of Biden, as of Jan., down 7 points from Sept. --Pew.) And he has beaten Drumpf before. Until we get another Obama (and FWIW, Mayor Pete looks like he may be, someday), Biden is the best we can hope for.
He needs a different VP that people would be okay with, if they need to step in as POTUS. Kamala, unfortunately, doesn't gain us votes in that regard. Jeff Jackson? Mallory McMorrow?
Agree.

Until we get RCV, we can’t have nice things.
