The only issue I have with the vote for Biden crowd is that there's a narrative forming where the people that refuse or are unable to vote for Biden literally want Trump and it paves over obvious flaws in the US democratic system. Specifically, the same voter suppression mechanisms (e.g. poll closures in key states) that acted in Biden's favors are the same ones that will now favor Trump, and I think everyone who has any sort of progressive agenda should be wary of party leadership dismissing the shortcomings of an electoral system hostile to democracy with one hand, while the other blames dissident voices as the reason for Biden's loss. There's a contradiction here, the people backing Bernie didn't even have enough leverage to put him as a primary candidate, and are now expected to singlehandedly tilt the balance in Biden's favor. That's not happening.
