    I’m not obligated to encourage anyone to vote for the lesser evil so long as the lesser evil still has an opportunity to be less evil.

        A lack of endorsement for a thing =! endorsement for the opposite thing

        Oh, when there are only two possible choices, it very much is, whether or not you want to confront that. If there is an infant drowning in an ankle-deep pool in front of you, doing anything other than saving the infant is endorsing its death.

        Before you is a very simple and very easy choice - fascism, or non-fascism. Yet your kind reject non-fascism, every single time. Curious.

          Actually in this context there’s at least 4:

          • vote for a candidate AND endorse voting for the candidate
          • don’t vote for a candidate AND don’t endorse voting for the candidate
          • vote for a candidate AND don’t endorse voting for the candidate
          • don’t vote for a candidate AND endorse voting for the candidate

          Nobody has actually ‘voted’ for a candidate yet, all anyone has done thus far is endorse or not endorse voting for a candidate. Just as a reminder:

          I’ll vote for harm reduction if it comes down to it

            Only because of the electoral college you’re entirely wrong here.

            There are only two choices.

            1. Biden gets to 270 ec votes
            2. He doesn’t and trump is appointed by Congress or gets to 270

            There is no other option in the long run.

            Actually in this context there’s at least 4:

            All of which boil down to “Try to rescue the infant” or “Varying levels of letting the infant drown or hoping someone else will spontaneously see the infant and rescue them in your stead”

                Democracy is. I didn’t realize that this metaphor was getting too complex for you.

                  And me voicing criticism of democrats is me letting democracy drown?

                  I’m just trying to get you to be more direct with your metaphor is all.

                    From “I won’t endorse anyone else voting Biden!” to “Voicing criticism”. Funny how your position changes now that you’re called out. Classic Motte and Bailey.
