“I support If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.” is a really bad shorthand though, because it doesn’t mean anything. Its playing the Ethnic Tension game when it could very easily not be, eg by using the phrase “I agree with If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.”
“Support” is kind of weak. To make it like the CAIS statement, maybe “I largely agree with IABIED”. Or “I ~agree with IABIED”. Or “I agree* with IABIED [bring your own footnotes]” 🙂
Your shorthand is very fine for building a political coalition, and I’m pretty sure that is your goal, so I think you shouldn’t change it. Just don’t do it on LessWrong!

I’m open to other shorthands.

”Statement of ~agreement with IABIED”
Ah yeah that’d probably be better
