CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
For the Conservatives: There is no “conservative" case to be made for Harris, so let me put that obtuse idea to rest

Trump Falls Behind Harris in Betting Market for First Time
Like I said, keep believing it. I notice that even Trump's handlers now believe it. IT's not just a bounce for Harris. It's a shift in America.

Wait a minute.....Trump Falls Behind Harris in Betting Market for First Time

Did you mean to say it's possible to disagree with a candidate on some things, or even disapprove of him for some things, but still vote for him anyway? And in doing, still be able to call yourself whatever you want to?
Because that contradicts what you said in the OP.
So you can see why I asked the question you're still avoiding answering.

Remember when you continued to avoid answering the question? Yeah, I do too.

Except that if it was a fallacy, we'd have examples of a Republican President cutting deficits, particularly with a Republican Congress. Instead, Republican Presidents still have increased the deficit (to include Trump) when both the House and the Senate were Republican controlled.
To me, this is a great argument that directly contradicts the OP; that it can actually make sense for a Conservative to vote Democrat for President, particularly if they are concerned about the deficit. Republicans (the party as a whole) only appear to care about deficit spending when a Democrat is in office. And if you care about deficits, it is a great reason to vote against Trump -- who was close to doubling deficit spending annually even before COVID (from half a trillion to a trillion), in what he claimed was "the best economy ever" and at a time that we should be reducing debt.

Weird how different the far right claims about what voters' motivations are differs from what actual voters here are saying their motivations are.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if Biden also conspires to have fake electors sent after he doesn't win the election to be sure.

If a conservative votes conservative in every other contest on the ballot, and only votes for Harris because he feels Trump is too great a threat to the Constitution, is that incoherent? I'll agree that there is no conservative case that can be made for Harris. Sometimes one should put the country as a whole above the party or the political path. Trump is an anomaly, and he should be treated as such.
