Obviously,.I can only speak for me on this one, plus I am not living in the US, so I wouldn't extrapolate from this to others
I want to know what I'm getting, from any candidate. Trump, right now is the devil we know. We also know that a lot of the old guard members of his previous administration are gone, fired or retired. There won't be as much to hold him back this time. His personal whims will dictate a lot of things. I can do the math when it comes to him, maybe a Dem. controlles house or senate can keep him in check until he hits his lame duck period. Heck, fractured republican party might even do that.
I don't know what I get with Harris. Former DA, Attourney General, low profile/sidelined as a VP. (contrast to Cheney, there was a VP who let you know what you were getting).
So, what does possibly 8 years of a Harris administration look like? That's what I'm waiting to find. That's why I don't like her mushy/evasive interview, why I think ahe is a bad candidate .
You know the saying, when someone tells you who they are believe them? There should.be another when, when someone won't tell you who they are, don't believe them.
I appreciate your relatively insult-free inquiry on the topic. It's rare in this thread.

Hope Mathgod will finally give me some credit here. This is an absolutely insane take.
I still believe that people should make Harris and the Dems earn their votes and pressure them into more progressive positions, but saying "I'd rather take the devil I know" when the devil you know is a bat####, narcissistic, neofascist, is so profoundly stupid.
