I always vote. Sometimes I vote for someone or something. Sometimes I vote against, even if I'm not wild about the opponent.

In this case, I think a clear case can be made to vote against the convict. If elected, he would do far more damage through maliciousness and incompetence, than Harris would. Harris will be more-or-less status quo. The status quo is job creation, reasonable foreign policy, strengthened bonds with allies, relatively low inflation (2.5% now), and projections of debt growth that are less than would result if the convict enacts his ideas. I can live with that.

My ideal candidate would be me. Except I wouldn't want the job. But everyone else is a compromise because they don't agree with me about everything. Harris is a compromise. The convict would be like voting for cancer.
