        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.

                    Just out of curiosity, what do you think anti-fascism looks like outside the context of a political campaign?

                    Someone vigorously voting for democrats wearing a black and red antifa flag isn’t really what comes to mind for me but anti-fascist action looks different for everyone I guess.
