The problem with this isn't voting, it's who you are allowed to vote for and which policies those people represent. Most US elections boil down to "90% hitler and covert fascism vs 100% hitler and overt fascism". Sure, if I were forced to vote in such a situation I probably would vote for the 90% hitler just out of harm reduction, but also it's important to acknowledge that the entire system which forces you to vote for 90% hitler must be destroyed.
The question is rather, would Harris have started some kind of war in West Asia if she had won in 2024? I think the answer is yes, because both Trump and Harris answer to highly overlapping sets of capitalists and imperialists and war is highly profitable. The war would probably be carried out more professionally and effectively, but would that actually be a good thing?
