The problem with the perspective that Trump is worse is that if Biden and then Harris were seen as only minimally better, that's not enough for some people and in an election decided on very small margins, that's enough. It a campaign's job to get people to vote. Whether you accept it or not, some sufficient percentage of people who voted for Biden in 2020 didn't vote for Harris. Complaining about them only serves to reduce the party's responsibility to put a platform together that gets a winning coalition.
