This sounds dumb. Not only would it help a Democrat win, but go look at her voting record in the House of Reps. Go look at her 2018 Congressional candidate platform and 2020 presidential candidate platform. I'm not saying people can't change their minds, but considering what was on her 2020 platform, she has a hell of a lot to prove before I'd trust her with any power. She's saying all the right things now but her voting record and campaign platforms say otherwise.
Here are some of the things from her 2020 platform:
Abolish the death penalty
End cash bail
"the fight for $15" minimum wage
Study reparations
Expand student debt relief
Close down nuclear power plants
Ban "assault weapons"
Universal background checks
Few limits, if any, on abortion
Medicare for All
Citizenship for Dreamers\DACA
Consider holding social media companies legally liable for user posts (which would be censorship)
She'll be a better Republican than most current Republican politicians.
I'm now considering writing her in when I vote for Senate (MD). She's miles ahead of Lockdown Larry.

I also have my reservations about RFK Jr because he has a lot of leftist views but will give them both a chance.
I agree, we can give her a chance... But writing in a candidate is invariably a waste.
I get voting third party, because I wish that were a viable thing and that will never happen if people are tied to the two party system -- whatever.
But writing in a name means that you actually are throwing a vote away, since there isn't even .0001% chance of that person winning.
She's doing good right now, but in order to be given a chance she needs to be politically relevant and active.
