I think there are two key points to remember here:
The GOP guy would endorse much worse policies for these folks than Harris.
While Harris is too far off, pressure can also be exerted by voting for the right Senators, House Reps, and local/state officials. Unlike the GOP guy, we have a better chance of making Harris listen, if the right folks are below her.
Ultimately, I respect everyone’s choice in voting and won’t pass judgement on doing so. But either way, I believe that the key remains building up the grassroots, as AOC and Ralph Nader have both stated recently.
This sounds like some of that push him left after the election bullshit we heard from liberals in 2020. The entire US government only responds to the donor class, there is no pushing anyone any direction without money.

Nader, you mean? Perhaps.
Yeah, was a problem even before Citizens United in 2010 - but that made it a gazillion times worse.
Uh, what? Citation needed?
I remember a lot of BS after but it was from the GOP candidate - something about his winning the election and it getting stolen.
