Look ya'll seem to love the % Hitler things so I'll put it like this. The choices you see are 100% Hitler and 99.99999% Hitler, but ignore the several 0% Hitlers also standing there wanting votes and have plans on how not to be Hitler then get upset when people support 0% Hitler over 99.99999999% Hitler. Like I said, I view harm reduction as being 0 harm which means supporting 0% Hitler.

Considering the third party candidates available in the USA, there were no "0% Hitler" candidates, unless you only view some genocides as worth opposing.
I'm not upset that people support "0% Hitler"; I'm upset that people act like solipsistic morons when voting. If more people actually supported "0% Hitler" and they had a chance to win, this wouldn't be a problem.

So how do you get more people to support 0% Hitler if you constantly publicly yell at the people who do?

And and yes there was a 0% Hitler choice in the race

"Don't waste your vote on a candidate who is still polling under 1% in a race where there is a grotesquely worse candidate and a less-bad candidate both at near 50%" isn't telling you "Don't support 0% Hitler", it's telling you "Work on building support for 0% Hitler before you try to enter an election that requires a fucking plurality of the nation's population to agree with your choice."
