I have a friend like that. He didn’t vote for Harris because she “has an annoying voice.” When I remark how trump is turning this country into a fascist nightmare, he say “I don’t care about that political shit.” …and then he bitches about how hard is to get an appointment at the VA, how little his tax return is, and how much gas costs suddenly.

He just has no empathy for his fellow human beings. What do you mean "I don't care about that political shit" when random people are getting kidnapped and sent to detention camps? Why is he still your friend? This isn't a minor disagreement.

To be clear, Harris would not have stopped fascism, fascism is rising because imperialism is decaying and forcing austerity inward to compensate.

To be fair she would not have assasinated the leader of Iran or invaded Venezuela.

Why do you believe that? Just like how Obama didn't "intervene" in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan? Or Clinton didn't "intervene" in Somalia, Bosnia, and Kosovo?

Amerikkkan imperialism is bi-partisan.

Why wouldn't she? Imperialism is a bipartisan project.

"Trolley problem" in 3, 2, 1...

There also wouldn't be gestapo in Minneapolis.

Voting for Harris would have fixed nothing you mentioned.

Well, ar least we could avoid the "Autism concentration camp database" bullshit.

Gas prices and federal employment layoffs are direct results of Trump actions that Harris would not have done.

Harris said she would invade Iran as well.

I'm having trouble finding that quote.

"However, the vice president declined to answer when asked whether she would support deploying US troops if given evidence that Iran had developed nuclear weapons, "

the article you posted doesn't support your claim.

"Both sides" is valid until it isn't.
