Kamala is a neoliberal while Trump is a self-identified fascist. This user put it best. Kamala has in fact stated she wants a ceasefire.

Words don't mean shit till she decides she won't keep sending money and weapons to Isreal. The monopolized 2 party system has destroyed the country over the last 120+ years. You are extremely naive if you think she's any different than her predecessors, when she has a verifiable fascist track record.
They crucified Bernie, and Hillary cut his legs out from under him, because he was actually different and would have brought change for the good. They rather Trump won, than Bernie. They wouldn't let her take Biden's place to run if she wasn't going to play ball and maintain the status quo.
Trump is 1000x worse, but she is still pure evil. The 2 parties are just both arms of the same fascist body.
There's no need to make up some fantasy that she's a good person. We're voting for her already.
I would ask for a source but I know you can't provide that, because your argument's statement is false.
Kamala is a neoliberal, which is a right of center, or leaning-right, position on the political spectrum. Which means she wants to incrementally improve society. This is insufficient to prevent climate change or fix our democracy. But it's still better than a christo-fascist takeover that will kill millions of people and actively seek to worsen climate change.
Making up a fantasy that she is a fascist is going to hurt her chances in the election. Conflating the candidates, in this case falsely, will suppress voter turnout. So please stop doing it.
Trump is a fascist. He's been talking about the enemy from within and sending the national guard and the military after people on the left.

She was a prosecutor and disproportionately jailed black men for years, but you might be too willfully ignorant to look it up yourself. Along with supporting bills that hurt the peasants and enrich the rulers.
Look, you're just hurting the cause when you flat out lie. At least be realistic about it. Neoliberal is just your way of spelling fascist. We're voting for her because she is the lesser evil, not because it's deserved.
Note how even diehard supporters will never use any facts from Harris' actual history to support her, they will only ever evoke the Great Orange Fear.
The number of incarcerated people in California people went down under Kamala Harris.
I don't need to argue that there isn't a tea pot in space. But in this case, your argument's claim has already been fact checked.

Yes, this is what your argument is doing. Lying isn't being realistic. Fascism is a real political position not just something to call people you don't like. Vote for Kamala because doing so is useful to achieving socialism and majority rule in the long run.
