@jagerisbae6481 See, the problem you have is a fundamental misapprehension of how politics works. You want to vote once, and get the perfect candidate - so you can forget all about politics for 4 years.
It don't work that way.
The only way you're going to keep any politician honest - Bernie included - is with not only activating around a candidate, but remaining activated over a long term. If you want democracy to work properly, and to get a good government, you need to enroll with your party, and become an actual activist.
Donating to a candidate, or voting for them once in 4 years is not engaging in democracy. It's the absolute barest minimum.
If you vote for Biden, but remain an active member of the progressive community, agitating to get the attention of Congress, you will be much harder to ignore. If you remind Biden your vote put him in power, that will oblige him to take your demands into consideration.
Whereas if you withhold your vote, he won't have to thank you for anything, and you can count on him bulldozing over your progressive values.
