If there is a candidate 1% worse than Hitler then you are morally obligated to vote for Hitler! (hexbear.net)

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.

If 99% Hitler loses he will oppose 100% Hitler out of partisanship. This could have the effect that 100% Hitler will be virtually 99% Hitler.
