Lets assume that Sanders concedes and Biden wins the nomination. That doesn't change the fact that I support Sanders and Warren not because of any cult of personality - I support them because I believe their positions on the issue to be most correct. And it will be difficult to argue for, say, universal healthcare or fierce financial market regulation without also arguing with Biden. Before for the General Election one can set that aside, to a certain extent, but after the election there's no doubt that Sanders supporters will be very critical of President Biden, should he govern from slightly to the left of the middle.
