Always use it.
If I'm listing this, that, and the other, the commas are just a horizontal series of bullet points, so there should be a comma for each item in the list.
Nobody would go:
The other
Also a fan of the serial comma, but I don't think a bulleted list works for your example:
This
• That
• The other
Why would you not bullet the first word in that bulleted list?
I think the point is more that without the serial comma, the last two items in the list aren't separated like the others, which (imo) feels like omitting the last bullet point in a list.
EDIT: Fixed a typo.
That helps me understand what the other person was saying in response to my comment now, thanks!
Seeeeee....we all get confused without it!
