... if they also say they won't vote for, or are unsure if they'll vote for, Kamala Harris, then that MEANS they are still willing to accept Trump in office.

So I agree 7/9 here is a good number in your anecdotal scenario. Definitely take it! These women have apparently thought it through. If it's worth not voting for Trump, it's worth voting against him in a way that actually produces the desired result.

This can and should be applied to all partisan races. If you don't want a Republican in office, you really must vote for the Democrat as the only viable approach to keep that Republican out of office.

NOT VOTING FOR a Republican candidate robs him/her of ONE vote. But VOTING FOR the Democrat counteracts a Republican voter's vote, and robs the Republican candidate of TWO votes!!
