What most people are arguing is that we shouldn't worry about holding Biden accountable until he's actually elected. The priority is getting Trump out. Everything else follows after.
I think what rube is arguing, is we need to let Biden and the DNC know now, that if he does get in, it's more of a repudiation of Trump and less actual support for Biden. It's telling them that yes, we might vote for you, but it's not because actually like you, so don't start thinking we're going to accept whatever you do or say just because you're not Trump. Being not Trump should not the bar.
The problem with the first is, it gives the DNC that feeling that "We're not Trump, so shut up and listen to us." The problem with the second is it may encourage people to not vote, which is how Trump gets back in.
Politics suck.
