I adopted the other person’s framing, but I do think “moderate Hitler” isn’t as bad as “Hitler”.

oh my god, you're actually not joking

I could get you to support anything by this logic, rather than refuse the non-choice and choose revolutionary means instead. Literally the only value on display here is the preservation of the current state of things.

I don’t think I’m the weird one for wanting to do harm minimization when harm eradication isn’t realistically on the table.

You're the one saying it's not on the table, since your idea of political participation doesn't seem to ever go beyond voting every 4 years for parties that stand for the same thing in the end.
