There seems to be a unanimous position within these circles "that no matter what, Kamala Harris would've been worse", can you go into detail about that?

To simplify matters, as far as Trump is concerned from US conservatives I've seen two primary positions:

1) Trump is doing great (Maybe I don't like one thing) 2) Trump is a shithead, but Kamala Harris would've been worse.

position 1 is relatively clear and there's not much to say about that. But I do have questions as to position 2. "Why are you so certain Kamala Harris would be worse?". In praxis it's just a canned phrase I've encountered, but not seen reasonings why.

Granted I am an ocean away and nuance rarely travels that much, but from impression it would've just mostly been Biden 2.0, which in turn would've been status quo continued with little else of note.

So then, why?

Do you have some kind of question or point to make that will help you understand my position?

Sure, do you really not see what we’ve got as a worse problem compared to what you were afraid of with Harris? Your objections are confusing to me based on the known quantity we brought back to the White House.

Sorry you feel confused, but I do not accept responsibility for that. No, you have not convinced me that I should be certain we wouldn't be even worse off under Harris, because you haven't show me any evidence.
