A quick definition of damnum absque injuria:

Damnum Sine Injuria: This is a Latin term that means "damage without wrongful act". It refers to a situation where someone suffers harm or loss, but there is no legal remedy because the harm was not caused by a wrongful act. For example, if a business loses customers due to fair competition, they cannot sue the competitor because the harm was not caused by a wrongful act. This concept is also known as "absque injuria damnum" or "absque injuria". It is important to note that not all harm or loss is considered wrongful and deserving of legal remedy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Damnum sine injuria is a Latin term that means "damage without wrongful act." It refers to a loss or harm that is incurred from something other than a wrongful act and occasions no legal remedy.

For example, if a business loses customers due to fair competition from another business, it is considered damnum sine injuria. The loss of customers is a harm, but it is not a wrongful act, and therefore, there is no legal remedy for the business that suffered the loss.

Another example is if a person's property is damaged during a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or earthquake. The damage is a harm, but it is not a wrongful act, and therefore, there is no legal remedy for the person who suffered the loss.

Damnum sine injuria is allowed by the law because there are many forms of harm that the law does not take into account. The reasons for its permission by the law are various and not capable of exhaustive statement.

I lean conservative and for a long time was one of those people who thought that he was bad but wasn't a facist and that sort of rhetoric was over-reactive. And for those reasons I voted for Harris, but I think I was underestimating him by far.
