The Justices appointed by the Ds have been against the worst of it at pretty much every opportunity and they have lifetime appointments.

Yes, but Trump simply responded by de facto weakening the courts and ignoring their authority, and since he has the supreme court anyway they keep allowing him to do whatever he wants. I get what you’re trying to say, but since there was zero chance America would get enough Democrats in a row for the Supreme Court to turn blue, D-appointed judges aren’t going to make a difference in the big picture. On the other hand four years of Harris would’ve legitimized MAGA’s ideas even further as the Democrats adopted more fascist and proto-fascist policies (hello border wall) while doing less and less to distinguish themselves from fascism, undermining the left and running the country to the ground. There was only ever ruin in the direction the DNC was headed, so what this argument really boils down to is whether you wanted four more years of proto-fascism before the real deal, and while we can argue about which one would’ve the better choice voting in Harris was still going to do exactly zilch to prevent fascism. You can’t keep voting in Von Hindenburgs and think you’ll avoid Hitler.
