So why would you not vote fascism lite? If you have two viable choices, and one is a worse version of the other, what possible benefit do you get for not increasing the odds of the less bad one? Fascism lite is taking the foot off the accelerator on fascism, which gives more opportunities to correct course. Fascism full flavor is flooring the pedal, and only makes it harder to do that. Voting for neither does not reduce the chances of one of the two winning.

The reason usa has fascism is because the only alternative is fascism lite.

And the reason those are our alternatives is that leftists are stingy with their vote. It's called "incremental change" and it means you don't turn your nose up at every imperfect candidate.
