Electorialism is a means to power and thus is a useful tool, just not the only tool. In absence of percieved realistic alternatives, which I believe to absolutely be the case for many, I don't think it's that bizzaire people would be so excited by it. In the context of this specific election, it's a means towards obtaining enough breathing room to then worry over more robust strategies.

we exist in a dialectical struggle between the knowledge that a bloody revolution will be necessary to oust the capital class and save humanity, and the hope that that is not true and we can Bernie our way out of this death spiral

IMO Bernie is a net positive in terms of getting people to actually learn about what socialism is and maybe becoming communists. I don't think that he can specifically do very much even in the dream scenario of him winning. Some people may become kind of dead-enders and just decide that parading for bernie and/or bernie-like figures for the rest of their lives is politics for them now and that sucks but it's really not different, fundamentally, from someone getting sucked into maoist third worldism or joining the DSA NPC or whatever. It's just a hazard of radicalizing people making a mistake and getting stuck in a dysfunctional mode of politics.

Maybe after he dies on the campaign trail or gets assassinated by kkkamela's elite task force or whatever more people will realize that electoral politics is not going to save them, or maybe it will permanently put the american working class of this generation into a despair from which the worst of the right wing will grow. None of that is forseeable from here.
