I suppose the fact he is running as a Green rather than a Dem makes that a little less likely. I could easily be wrong, but I don't think a Green (at least in recent memory) has turned into a Democrat cheerleader. Whereas Sanders was running as a dem and just served to try to funnel a few more left-leaning votes back into the far-right.

Yeah that's the real problem with these types. People say well they might further the conversation and maybe, but all that progress is thrown out the window and you get regression in fact the moment that candidate sheepdogs and says the election is the most important or our lives, we all must hold our noses and vote for Biden and the Dems who are the lesser evil. Because that keeps people in the paradigm, they vote him this time and then whoever the next bozo is next time and every time there's a new sheepdog to herd these people out to pasture to sate their desires for the aesthetic of radicalism before dutifully herding them back into the electoral system and hopes for incremental change someday.
