We didn't. Most people did. Candidates running for office are a popularity contest. Biden has low approval ratings, Harris said she's Biden and wouldn't change most polices.
Trump is much much worse, and I voted for Harris in California despite knowing it didn't change how North Carolina or Iowa could have gone.
At some point "I'm not Trump" gets tired and going "I'm just like the guy in office who was so unpopular he dropped out, but I will give Republicans what they want on border policy and appoint them to my cabinet" reads more like Diet Trump than "I will give you policies that sway people away from fascism."
Even a single life less harmed is worth it for that vote. People clearly arent that ethically committed if they needed to be convinced to vote against this
