MODERATORS
I adopted the other person's framing, but I do think "moderate Hitler" isn't as bad as "Hitler". Just like "moderate Republicans" (the Democrats) and better than "Republicans".
I don't think I'm the weird one for wanting to do harm minimization when harm eradication isn't realistically on the table.
oh my god, you're actually not joking
I could get you to support anything by this logic, rather than refuse the non-choice and choose revolutionary means instead. Literally the only value on display here is the preservation of the current state of things.
You're the one saying it's not on the table, since your idea of political participation doesn't seem to ever go beyond voting every 4 years for parties that stand for the same thing in the end.
You can vote for the Democrats, that's fine, but if you're expecting them to stop the Republicans or to not do mostly the same things Republicans do then you're not paying attention to what they do. Voting isn't going to save you here.
Your communist revolution is not as imminent nor as popular as you think.
your moderate hitler lost to hitler
Sure, a non-Hitler would've won, but that's not the race we were dealt.
geriatric moderate hitler helped the moderate hitler party halt their pseudo-democratic moderate hitler candidate selection program in favor of undemocratically annointing an even more wildly unpopular and more hated moderate hitler that promised to do everything hitler did but with a smiley face so you could stay at brunch.
A candidate who then lost to the regular hitler lmao.
