I’ve always been “socially Democrat and fiscally Republican,” which makes it VERY easy for me to vote against Trump and for Harris. I really, really hope more Republicans can see the appeal of Harris’s approach.

Ha ha ha! Fiscally Republican!? And you're going to vote for the candidate that favors price controls as the way to fix the economy? Democrats never met a tax increase that they didn't like (much less support). That isn't fiscal conservatism. Just be honest and say that you will vote for anybody but Trump (whom you hate)!
As I asked in another thread here, other than the abortion issue (which is a red herring in the federal election cycle this year since the SCOTUS has returned that issue to the states), name one reason that you are voting FOR Harris and not against Trump. Name one accomplishment she has to her credit.
Trump is not a fiscal Republican. Trump’s tax cuts did not pay for themselves but they did explode the deficit to record levels. Trump was fiscally irresponsible. The Biden/Harris Admin. has decreased those levels. Harris has not proposed price controls. She proposed anti-price gouging rules similar to the laws on the books in many states. And leave it to a middle-aged man (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here) to tell women living under total abortion bans and living where OB/GYNs are fleeing their states that abortion is a red herring. “Tone deaf” doesn’t even begin to describe your ridiculous comment on abortion.
As far as reasons to vote FOR Harris:
-Harris was the Attorney General for California, a state whose economy is the fifth largest in the world.
-Harris was a U.S. Senator and Vice President of the United States.
-Harris was tasked by Biden to tackle the root causes of migration from the northern triangle countries. As a result, public/private partnerships committed more than $4 billion to those countries to help mitigate the root causes that make people there feel like they need to leave their homes to come to America. Attempted crossings by migrants from those countries are down sharply.
-Harris has never been bankrupt, let alone multiple times like Trump.
-Harris has not been convicted or indicted for, a single felony, unlike the 34 and counting that Trump has been.
-Harris is not currently awaiting sentencing for felony convictions, like Trump.
-Harris has never been found liable for sexual abuse, like Trump.
-Harris has no companies that have been found guilty of fraud, like Trump.
-Harris has no outstanding legal judgements and debts, unlike Trump, whose legal judgements and debts total in the hundreds of millions of dollars, making him extremely susceptible to foreign influence.
-Harris is not a chronic serial liar like Trump.
-Trump has never incited an insurrection against the United States.
-Harris has hundreds, if not thousands, of endorsements from prominent Republican officials, politicians and economists, including many from Trump’s administration, because they deem Trump unfit to serve and a danger to democracy.
There you go. I have more good reasons if you need any.
Your judgment of my beliefs based on a single comment is rather baffling. I’m voting for Harris because she has won nine-figure settlements for consumers and homeowners against major corporations. She knows how to navigate transnational law and she has prosecuted traffickers and border criminals. She fights for reproductive rights (which you so disingenuously cast off as a non-issue). Harris treats all Americans with respect and vows to have a bipartisan cabinet and advising team to help unite the country. She understands the role of the president has boundaries and will work with Congress to pass bills rather than using authoritarian rule.
My dislike for Trump’s policies and behavior does not mean I don’t also have great hope for and interest in Harris as a president. The two feelings can coincide because humans have a beautiful ability to hold nuanced opinions. Give it a shot.
I stand corrected. Though, I think that if you actually look at the truth of her record, you might see things differently - especially the vow of the bipartisan cabinet. She is a Leftist, Communist, Marxist. She will not have a centrist administration. But you did list reasons that you believe and are voting FOR.
There is nothing particularly Marxist or Communist in any proposals of Harris’s presidential campaign. There is no will in Congress to pass Marxist or Communist laws. Marxism and Communism remains a conservative boogeyman used to scare people off common sense proposals. We survived the last red scare, and there’s no real interest nor policy to even pretend we’re in a current red scare.
