I think you should have phrased this as "what about".

Nah, it was a legitimate question, since it would be a logical third button given the context.

A whataboutism would be if I tried to defend the AFD by deflecting to their opponent's relationship with Israel or something along those lines rather than add it to the transgressions of the far right as I was doing.

Hmm. Fair enough!
