    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”

          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.

                “I won’t endorse voting for a lesser evil so long as the lesser evil has opportunity to be less evil”

                Yes, as pointed out, that’s a convenient excuse to not endorse anti-fascism until it lines up perfectly with your view. But then you backtrack to ‘Actually I’m just making criticism’, which is quite distinctly contradictory.

                But hey, since when are fascists internally consistent?

                    Only an American would think not endorsing a moderate candidate is the same as endorsement of fascism.
