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?
