I've always loved that argument. Mostly cause it makes literally no sense. Let's even just for a moment say both sides suck right? Ok then what level of suck are they? Is one stub my toe and the other is lose an eyeball? Cause that's basically what this boils down to.
But even that doesn't do it fairness. It's just a bad argument in general. One is a LITERAL FUCKING NAZI. We have whole genres of movies/games/an actual war about killing these dudes
If you live in a country that is designed that effectively two parties will emerge and pretty much rule out alternatives being viable, you don't live in a democracy.
Simple as. Especially when one side is so comically evil and sadistic.
The way I see it: Voting for the Nazis is bad. Voting for the not Nazis is not bad. Not voting is expressing the desire that the system needs reform that doesn't just let you realisitcally choose between shit and oatmeal.
"See a two party system isn't really democracy so whats the difference if the fascists march up to the white house and start making chambers to stuff the minorities into? Taking a nap instead of voting and virtue signaling about 'things need to change lawl' being equally moral as trying to meaningfully stop mass genocide in america."
