Jokes aside: I do think Harris is better on this issue (and people should still vote for her) but surely you can see how this disingenuous criticism really side steps the issue.

The game is this: present two options, one far-right and one centre-right. And people will argue for and against the sadness of always having to vote for the lesser of two evils. This will distract at least some of them from the fact that things don't get better, because "we lost because you didn't vote for the lesser of two evils", or "at least we defeated that far-right candidate".

It's a very simple game.
