No. I don't like it, but I don't think that it's treasonous to have dual citizenship. I think a person should be made to pick a country, and stick with it. It just seems strange to be a citizen of more than one country. Why it's allowed? Don't know.

Treason is betraying the interest of your country. If the person with dual citizenship is disloyal or acts against the interest of either country, she commits treason. Dual citizenship in itself is not treason.

It's a great way to pay taxes to two countries, not just one.
It wouldn't be philosophically treasonous, IMHO, but it would be problematic if the two countries went to war. What if the dual-citizenship holder got drafted -- by both?
Make up your mind; dual citizenship is a cop-out or merely manipulative/exploitative behavior.

In the vast majority of cases someone has dual citizenship because of birth, so I can't see how that would be treasonous.

No....treason is an unlawful act. Having dual citizenship is not unlawful.

No. Treason is defined in the Constitution. I suggest you read it.

Why? You didn't ask to be born that way.
In fact, I think that it has distinct advantages...and disadvantages, like if one country requires you mandatory military service....

Not unless you do something to harm one of your countries.

No, I think that it's celebrating your heritage and also where you live now.
