I know it's too late to change things, but would ranked choice voting resolve (2)? You should end up with a candidate that a majority are "ok" with, even if they aren't their first or second choice.

In almost any voting system except plurality, Biden's age wouldn't be creating drama because there would other similar candidates.

But ranked choice doesn't always lead to concensus, particularly in a crowded field. For example, Eric Adams winning in NYC.

It wouldn’t because there are no more primaries. Ranked choice voting is a method to choose politicians in elections. There are no more primary elections left and no time to do it all over even if it was procedurally possible.
