Since you just did the thing they described but without addressing it, let me repeat them.

Why do you support a system that repeatedly makes you choose between mega hitler and giga hitler? Surely you recognize that such a system is evil and participation is an endorsement of it.

So you've stopped paying taxes then? Since "such a system is evil and participation is an endorsement of it"

It's those tax dollars that build bombs for Israel. If you're paying them, you're paying for genocide.

The MIC is funded through financial magic and imperialism. If tax fraud would oppose them, I would probably do it, but it really does not.

The "tax dollars" for the bombs are invented out of thin air. However, the people that make the bombs and deliver the bombs and drop the bombs are doing all of those things and we should organize to stymy those efforts.

Because if Giga Hitler wins, then the Overton window shifts even farther, and the next election is between Giga Hitler and Hyper Giga Hitler Zero.

It shifts right under both because the population does not build leverage against either but both Hitlers eschew anything vaguely left.

Biden-Harris is the "Mega Hitler". It is doing a genocide right now. The party moved right under them.

I'm pretty sure the party has done a genocide before, so IDK about "moved right".

I agree the status quo is fucking awful, I just don't agree that pouring gas on the fire will help.

Dems are embracing Trump's wall and harsh immigration stances, tolerating transphobic candidates, and doing this genocide fairly openly.

I think electing more Dems would be the accelerationist position

Holy cognitive dissonance, Batman!
