We've all heard the liberal argument "if there is a candidate only 99% as bad then you're morally obligated to vote for 99% Hitler." But when we extend that logic to a nearly identical scenario it suddenly sounds a lot less compelling.

I mean, it's just dishonest. They don't believe it themselves, it's just a rhetorical tool. Liberals have only adopted that line of argument so they can shame anyone with principles into voting for Biden. If they did believe that 99% Hitler is worth supporting over 100% Hitler, why do they whine so much about Stalin?

Because they believe Stalin was worse than Hitler.

Then they should put their nuts on the table and admit they're hitlerites. hitler-detector

Is that how you're supposed to identify Nazis?

Oh, man, I've been going about this all wrong. Thanks!

They disagree on the fundamental principle that Biden is 99% Hitler.
