That's a might big "if." I am not troubled by his serving four more years as President for the reasons you cite. The problem is he's not going to get that chance because nearly 75% of the public doesn't think he's fit for another term. That's just reality. Biden is likely going to lose if the Ds don't change their nominee.
I do not have your crystal ball. As a European I assure you Trump scares all of us. He will pull out of NATO and stop support for Ukraine. Not to mention all the new power he was given by the Supreme Court. We all need to recognize the job Biden has done and will do. Not to mention the superior people he has elevated to important roles.
Biden will have the Admin. needed to continue. Replacing him now (rather than in '23 or early '24) is foolish. The mass population should all support Biden as Trump has already told the elites what he'll do to help them. Trump has the wealthy/big business, the Republican pols, right-wing SCOTUS, and the magas. The remainder of Republicans, hopefully, will finally understand his indecency, ineptness, greed/narcissism, disinterest in laws binding him from what he feels he needs to do to increase/keep power.
Sure the people should all support Biden, but the reality is they won't, and there is nothing we can do about that, and neither can Biden. Concerns about his age will not go away. It's too late for Republicans, they are lost in a cult. No one on their side is going to save us.
The reality we live in. In no reality will the great majority of voters in this country all of a sudden see the light regarding Trump (within the next four months!) and vote for Biden. The post I was replying to implied that we can't replace Biden because the people (including independents and "sensible" Republicans) should support him and turn against Trump. Sorry, that's just not going to happen.
I agree with you 100% and will do exactly the same. However the election will come down to who the undecideds choose, and base turnout. The undecideds drive me batty, it's like how could anyone be undecided at this point with these two candidates, but still they are out there, and optics matter to them. They either don't know or don't care about all of Biden's accomplishments (unfair and depressing but true). All they will see is someone who looks incapable of being president. As far as the base is concerned, lack of enthusiasm will reduce base turnout, and it's really hard to get enthusiastic about Biden right now. I'm going to vote for him and I can't even be enthusiastic about it. As far as Republicans are concerned, they are either intentionally ignorant about Trump's intentions, or are all for the Trump 2.0 dictatorial regime. The optics are bad for Biden, and the reality is this is how most people vote for president, based on their feelings.
You're right on his chances seeming pretty slim. But if they end up keeping Biden as the candidate anyway, I would hope the 'next 4 years' point doesn't get beaten to death and become another 'brainworm' in the average low-info voter's mind.
"If he gets re-elected..."

Will Biden make them understand that?

You realize that is all in the past, right?
Of course its not about who to vote for.
It's about who can campaign effectively
