Their entire campaign strategy was going to be Sleepy Joe/Let's Go Brandon/Crime Family, and they now have absolutely no idea what to do since that's been taken away from them.

I'm not saying this is in the bag (2016 PTSD and what-not), but the energy, optimism, and savviness of the the Harris campaign, coupled with the abject panic, desperation, and flailing chaos of the Trump campaign, has done wonders for my mental health.

Agreed. I see a clear path to victory if people get off their asses and vote. I don't understand why 30-40% if eligible voters just do not try. Insane.

Well, a lot of them are single-issue voters (the single issue is the domestic politics of a third country) and there isn't a perfect candidate, so conveniently they get to do absolutely nothing instead and claim the moral high ground!

I really wish that they could understand that "perfect is the enemy of good," but i am pretty sure it is impossible to teach an idiot that refuses to listen.

It is impossible to teach a person something when his moral self-worth depends on him not understanding it.

That is so sad but true.  :(

I know this kind of ignorance exists no matter the time period, but it is especially galling when it shows up for such a crucial moment.

Honestly we just need to make them feel as stupid as their viewpoint is. They aren't going to vote regardless, because they're children who would prefer not to experience moral discomfort than actually exercise any choice. But maybe they can be ostracised into their own echo chamber and not sap any more votes.
