The point being made with their appearance is that Trump is so toxic and repulsive that defectors are actively coming out of the woodwork to endorse Harris. It's meant to appeal to independents and Republicans who see modern Trump and are increasingly off-put by him.

Now, they are all aggressively repulsive pieces of shit, sure. But I think we all agree that Trump is an even more aggressive piece of shit in comparison.

Participating in oppressor Olympics means you don't actually hold any values.

Refusing to participate in anything and just letting bad things happen means you don't actually hold any values.

"sitting around doing nothing does not make you morally superior"

"So you support genocide"

Well you sure sound like a rational person with reasonable arguments worth listening to...

Who said anything about doing nothing? There is a large amount you can do beside supporting genocide "because the world is complex", and doing nothing. One of those things is not voting for the parties that support genocide as a bare minimum.
