Harris may have been light on policy, but she was able to bait an ‘unhinged’ Trump into a number of traps

But her policy positions were also clearly leaning to the right of the Democratic agenda. She called for many more agents patrolling the border (rather than real and comprehensive immigration reform), defended the right to abortion by extreme examples of injury (such as incest) rather than an ordinary woman’s right to choose, and offered no policy change for Palestinians beyond “working round the clock” for a ceasefire. In other words, more of the same.

does not matter who wins the election now because a right leaning party is going to win no matter what

It definitely matters. There's a world of difference between right leaning and actual fascism.

Get the fuck out of here with that dumb shit.
