Because I don't want to be associated with anyone like that
Associated with anyone like *what*? The US has a binary political system. If the Democrats are failing to address a topic you care about, the other guys are probably addressing it.
You can't just assume that everyone who voted for Trump did so because of whatever failed morality you're trying to impose upon others. Our candidate was bad, there were plenty of reasons not to trust her to accomplish things. She's had a bad track record with the American public for years, and promising the moon when we could have addressed any of those things in the past four years comes across as empty to people.

I think this is a much more nuanced situation than most people on the internet--especially Reddit--want to acknowledge. I voted for Harris. I have cut off some people I knew who voted for Trump, but very few. It was basically because it became apparent that their system of morality was no longer compatible with mine (for example, they were calling all democrats "Satanic"). Because I live in such a heavily red state, if I did cut off all Trump voters, I would literally have contact with no person I currently know, so that just isn't practical.

Anyone that would vote for Trump.
The US has a binary political system.
There are actually several options. You can vote for a 3rd party/independent or even not vote at all.
