This is the exact same logic that was used to defend AOC and Bernie when they were skibi-rizzling the kids into social fascist Liberal Zionism because "AOC has done more for socialism than you ever have!" and "she's moving the overton window left!" was screamed at you when you applied any Marxist critique to this well worn centuries old pattern of succ dem bullshit.
Stop using Liberal utilitarian "lesser evil" logic. It's idealistic and fake and repeatedly is leading you to disgusting places, like defenses of Platner because of "lesser evil". I always see it used when defending liberalism and bad ideas, that the bad ideas must be taken seriously and respected because the person pushing them has done so nebulous "praxis" and has a net positive karma score or whatever the fuck Liberal shit is going on in one's mind palace to justify this nonsense.
