    Oh, when there are only two possible choices

    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”
