Yes, Vaush is disgusting for his racist and dehumanizing comments about Trans people.
However, we cannot simply dismiss his main argument to vote Biden, as it seem to have a broad appeal. We need to get into the nitty gritty of it, in order to expose his lame-ass sheepdogging.

Vaush's main argument is to vote Biden, so that he gets elected and we can convince voters that Biden isn't solving things, by putting Biden's failures on full display. That's how we convert democratic voters into socialists and win another election, according to Vaush.
My first counterargument:
1. Democrats always rig their primaries. They rigged 2016 2020 and will also rig 2024. Even if putting the Dem's failures in full display would convert democratic voters into socialists, a lefty candidate would still not win the democratic primary.

2. Don't pander to democratic voters, appeal to independent voters, who are mostly already disgruntled by the two-party duopoly. This is by far the biggest voting block: we need to focus on converting THEM into socialists.
3. It is only through a third party or an independent candidate that we can break out of the vicious cycle of the two-party duopoly. If you continue to vote for the duopoly, you will continue to undermine our way out of this mess. Stop voting for Democrats and Republicans!
4. When Bernie calls Biden "progressive", that hurts lefties, as it will mislead voters into thinking centrists are also lefties. Democratic voters will continue to be misled by Buttigieges and Harrisses, because Bernie and the Squad praised them.
5. If you endorse Biden and kiss his and Nancy Pelosi's butt all the time, you lose your credibility and relevance as progressives. AOC is now a lost cause who has put her own career path above everything else. You can't win a war, with a bunch of pussies and career climbers!
6. Putting the Dems' ineffectiveness on display could convert voters into socialist, IF this was effectively lead by a strong and vocal progressive caucus. Since there isn't such a caucus, the mainstream media will continue to manufacture consent for the Biden administration.
7. There will be no strong progressive caucus holding Biden and Harris accountable after they win. They will continue to be the same kind of weak sauce bullshit progressives they are now, unable to convert much voters into socialists at all.
8. What Vaush is arguing for, sheepdogging progressives back into the democratic party, holding your nose and fight back later, is exactly what's caused the progressive caucus to become such a neutered bunch of good-for-nothing cowards.
