    That’s not a reasonable standard for what constitutes “assistance.” If I see a bank robbery happening and do nothing to stop it, does that mean I assisted the robbery? Am I assisting every single thing happening in the world right now?

    If you mean “not impeding” then say “not impeding.” Calling that assistence is false and disingenuous.

      Those are not remotely analogous situations. What is the risk to you from voting for Biden? What does it cost you? How does it endanger you?

      Voting is free. But you would rather further endanger vulnerable people than do something that makes you personally feel icky.

      Because that’s what this comes down to. Given all the choices available in this situation, there is literally no downside to voting for Biden. All it truly costs is swallowing your pride.

      But you can’t even do that.

        Again, I’m not endangering anyone. If you can’t talk about this without making false claims an accusations, then we’re done here.

          If you don’t think that a Trump victory will endanger vulnerable people then you’ve got your head stuck so deep in the sand that it’s a wonder you can hear anything at all.
