Bonus points for right wingers (usual Republican voters) who vote for Harris.

OK, so it isn’t really about whether people vote or some test of whether they support the causes they actually support and what is “right,” it’s literally just “voting Democrat.”
I would caution taking that attitude. I think that attitude encourages and enables the same on the side you disagree with, and it’s pretty difficult to overcome.
People should give their vote to the party who they feel has earned it, and that goes for both sides. If that means they don’t vote for anyone, that should be encourage. That actually teaches parties that they have to understand what it is people actually care about, instead of extreme elements being able to run away with the party with little resistance.
Your attitude (and Lanny’s) enable Trump.
