Yeah, OP would enthusiastically vote for Mussolini if the other option was Hitler

Uhh.... Are you saying you'd vote for Hitler if the other option was Mussolini?

What are you trying to say here? That it's better to "take the higher ground" and just NOT vote? Giving the hardcore right-winger voters an even larger margin by which they elect the horrible option?

Not voting at all is literally he worst of all available options in the vast majority of democratic election systems.

Note: if I'm wrong, and not voting actually sends a message in the US, please educate me. The systems I know count the votes as the percentage of valid votes given, which means that not voting always gives advantage to the right side.

In a race between Hitler and mussolini, yes. If you participated in a system that gave you a choice between those two you're part of the problem. Get outta here with your HURR DURR TRAINS RAN ON TIME

Right.

So in a choice between Holocaust and Fascism, you choose Holocaust.

Because not voting is boosting the effective numbers of those who vote for the Holocaust.

And you have the gall to think of yourself as the better person, fuck me....
