Based on a brief tour through their (corsicanguppy) comment history I'm guessing BlueMAGA at least, which translates to "I'm a Nazi but I don't like being called a Nazi". Here's an excerpt from one of their recent comments:

Voting isn't some bargain between a thousand voting groups and one candidate. Let's break it down.

THERE ARE TWO CANDIDATES

YOU PICK THE BEST CANDIDATE

[...]

The unmentioned third option is "If you vote third party or don't vote at all, you accept the consequences of a worst-case scenario".

What does the word Nazi mean to you?

I think anyone who engages in, advocates, or aids a genocide, particularly based on a perceived sense of racial superiority over the victimized group, qualifies sufficiently as a Nazi.

I've been using the term "fascist" to describe Democrats for quite some time, because really looking closely at the definitions/characteristics of fascism and how this society works - you have this economically and structurally enforced racial supremacy, you have the nationalism, the militarism, the merger of business and state - the fact that Democrats pay lip service to leftism doesn't really change it. Democrats haven't really changed in the last two years, rather, the genocide of Palestine just laid bare who they were for us.

That seems apt. Democrat complicity in the Gaza genocide was the last straw for a lot of people, and arguably why Kamala lost. Importantly as well, I suspect Dems will not be trusted again by a large group of the population unless significant changes are made or the party is "Theseus-ed" into a completely new format, if they survive as a party at all. And that segment of the population grows every day as awareness of the genocide spreads and is discussed.
