Well, other than the polls that show Bernie and Warren winning against Trump more than Biden does, oh and the utter lack of support for any of the other centrist candidates in the race.
At this point, Biden is also conceding and using a super pac. He's entirely unlikable, he's sundowning, he's against efforts tthat will actually save the world, and he's against real medicare for all and is actively damaging the fight for it. I have family members that are depending on this, and he's against it, so yes, I'm against him because his policy will kill my mom, and that's not hyperbole. I detest Biden.
And now Bloomberg's in the race. The only people actually excited about that are paid shills on the news networks.
Let me put it this way to alay your fears. So long as Biden's actual policies are better than Trumps even a little bit, I'll still check that box if he ends up the alternative candidate, but I won't be donating to him (not that he cares, he's got a superpac), and no one's actually enthusiastic about him. If he loses ABF, what then? Are you going to blame ageism? Grasp at some other straw, but never once challenge the notion that perhaps, just maybe, it isn't the 90's any more and there IS NO CENTER to appeal to?
I will say this though, if Biden's policies slip so far to the right they become indistinguishable from Trump's. That is, if it looks like he isn't going to immediately free all those children in cages at the border, then yes, I will abstain, because at that point I'm voting between two far right candidates.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
