Can Democrats still suggest democracy is on the ballot as some work to replace Biden?

Are they not literally trying to stage a coup to replace their Democratically elected candidate
I mean, they "can" suggest that democracy is on the ballot. I see no reason why not. They just cannot still argue that they are the ones defending it.
That being said, they are already losing that argument as 44% of swing state voters believe that Trump is better equipped to save democracy than Biden who came in at 33%. I would suggest that if Biden is forced off the ballot that whomever replaces him would not fare even as well as that.
Imagine the argument from Kamala or whomever replaces him. Nope, I did not get any votes to be my Party's nominee. Yes, the man I am replacing got eight million votes. But trust that I will protect the concept of Democracy now that I have succeeded in replacing our election winner via a coup.

History will likely show that the smartest decision Joe Biden ever made was selecting Kamala Harris as VP. It’s not a PR trick but a Dilbert-era middle-management trick: If you don’t want to be replaced, make sure your subordinates suck more than you do. And now, the Democrats are boxed in: There’s no legal mechanism to cancel Biden; his most plausible replacement is unacceptable to the American people – but if you don’t select Harris, then you have the optics issue of jettisoning a black woman for someone like Gavin Newsom. Do that, and Biden’s most loyal block – African Americans and the Congressional Black Caucus – might walk away completely. It's a helluva dilemma.
No, the Democratic Party can’t…
I think todays press conference will be telling. If Biden pulls out his note cards when calling "reporters" and they play along he's safe. If he doesn't there may be a coup in progress. But I won't be watching...
