I have no problem about calling out when I am trapped in a least worst decision. And I donated to Harris & other Dems.
Harris's economic proposals were excellent and important programs, but the message targeted relatively comfortable, high information voters.
There was NOTHING motivating in the Harris campaign - not to the large numbers who didn't turn out.
No discussion of kitchen table economic issues reaching out to the low information voters. I did a lot of canvassing (San Francisco, so not highly significant re electoral votes) and reached many who had no idea how Harris's big ideas would help them - $25 K home purchase support for people who cannot even save enough to get a down payment, or make mortgage/insurance/property tax; child credits which aren't of much use for no- child households; home care via Medicare not a big sell to folks less than 40 years old , even their parents don't need it yet.
Nothing about wages vs cost of groceries, which I heard from many.
