    Harris is running as a moderate Republican.

    Liz Cheney gets to speak at her events, Muslim Democrats get escorted out by security.

    Blaming progressives for Harris’ defeat would be good for a “progressive” voting bloc. The only leverage a voting bloc could ever hope to have is a credible threat to withhold a vote. Usually, those on the US “left” are not perceived as credibky threatening to withhold their vote and they can be safely ignored.

    Of course voting is itself limited. If you want to develop political power for the good of humanity you need to do more than think about voting and stay far away from the Democratic Party.
