I just don't believe the vast majority of "lesser evil" Democrats because I saw them turn around and enthusiastically cheer on Harris, and then act like someone shot their dog when she lost. If you're reluctantly supporting 99% Hitler over 100% Hitler, you don't go to 99% Hitler rallies and you don't care when he loses.

Supporting evidence:

I think Kamala Harris would be an objectively great president (1000 upvotes)

Kamala Harris is like Princess Leia and blaming her for Gaza is analogous to blaming Leia for Alderaan (1100 upvotes)

Kamala Harris is a "former prosecutor with a spotless record" (1200 upvotes)

These are the real beliefs of the supposedly "reluctant" Harris supporters who say they're only supporting her because she's a "lesser evil." It's the classic motte-and-bailey tactic, defending a much weaker form of their beliefs when under criticism than what they actually believe.
