Well I think if you're going to engage in this kind of thing, then the comparison can't be done in a vacuum. What happens if Biden is re-elected? Almost certainly in 2028 a Republican will win. I don't think Trump will be able or willing to run in 2028, which means it's probably going to be a Republican other than Trump. So, is it better to vote for 99% Hitler now to prevent 100% Hitler from being elected in 2024, knowing that there's a very strong chance that in 2028 110% Hitler will be elected? Is it better to have 100% Hitler in 2024, expecting that another 99% Hitler would win in 2028 rather than 110% Hitler?
Beyond that, if you vote for a genocider you're setting the precedent that the DNC doesn't need to worry about whether genocide affects elections. The DNC should lose this race based on the genocide they have perpetrated alone.
