No. I don’t “must” do anything, and neither does any other voter.

You're free to live in denial about the FPtP voting system, but if enough people do that we get Trump. The statement "In a FPtP voting system you must vote strategically. You must vote against the party you like least" is a hard truth that you're not accepting. Kamala is the only candidate that could've beaten Trump. If you didn't vote for Kamala, you contributed in a small way to Trump's victory.

I hate FPtP. I want ranked choice or approval voting so people can vote their conscience. But I'm not naive. I vote in the electoral system I have, not the electoral system I want. So I will vote Dem and be proud knowing this is the best I can do as a voter.
