    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.

                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?

                    Classic pugjesus, accuse people of being fascists for not ignoring genocide (: fuckers like him make it really hard for me to justify voting liberal, I’m sure plenty of other leftists have been turned away bc of liberals trying to defend genocide for Biden’s sake

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