Many Democrats voted for Harris out of party loyalty as much as anything. I don't have a source for Biden to Trump switchers, but suspect it's larger than the popular vote difference.

We have a choice, support the working class, or lose. I suspect the CAP folks would choose to lose.

Part of winning elections is having a big tent, kicking everyone out is a sure way to lose.
