If you’re an unhappy voter and want other unhappy voters to hold their noses and vote for the major candidate they least dislike, think about the Golden Rule.
It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?
Ok, I get what you are saying, but it sounds biased the way you’re wording it. You could’ve just as well said Pro Harris and Anti Harris. Trump is the only one who can realistically beat Harris, so if you’re Anti Harris you should vote Trump, even if you’re not Pro Trump.
So yeah, if you’re Anti Trump you should vote Harris and if you’re Anti Harris you should vote Trump. If you’re Anti both of them then tough luck because the electoral system in the US doesn’t care about you. One of them will be president no matter what you do, so if you want any control over which one, then vote for one of them even if you hate both.
Would it be nicer if we lived in a multi party system? Probably. Do we? No. Voting as though we are is not useful (maybe unless you live in a state that you are 100% certain can not be flipped).
If you hate one candidate even slightly less than the other, for example because the former has not yet stated that they want to punish colleges that allow pro Palestine demonstrations, vote for that first one.

Agreed.

Harris isn’t the threat to the American system of government that Trump is.
