Some of us are demsocs here and/or have been this whole time under Trump. It might be easier to organize "under Trump", but I don't think that is simply due to him being in office, I think that is a result of Bernie coming off 2 runs and the growth of the left in general - rather than a reaction to Cheeto Mussolini ;)
The conditions would be better because:
The actual left is much bigger and more connected than under C/B/O (Clinton yada yada)
Biden would effectively be the spokesperson of the neoliberal wing of the party, and he ain't exactly "sharp". I get the counterpoint here that Harris is "smart", but people don't like her and she is WAYYY worse at bullshitting than Obama.
Having Trump in office broke every damn libs brain... they are much more susceptible to "civility politics" and "return to normalcy" stuff... thus making a leftists job that much harder (not saying it's easy without Trump.... but it is an unnecessary hurdle).
Electoralism aside, having a news cycle that lasts longer than 24 hours makes direct action more effective. (strike wave 2021?)
A few others, but it's actually 4:20 AM (lol) and I just woke up.
