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.

That's incorrect.

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
