Trying to pick the lesser of two evils - Stalin of the 1930s and Hitler prior to WW2, I would have to side with Hitler...although Hitler was pretty darn bad, even then.

It's obvious you have no future as a leftist extremist, BobL. When faced with a choice between two evils, leftist extremists choose both.

Uh....why is it even necessary to engage in such a thought exercise?

“Trying to pick the lesser of two evils - Stalin of the 1930s and Hitler prior to WW2, I would have to side with Hitler...although Hitler was pretty darn bad, even then.”

A Hobsen’s choice to be sure. It proves that proverb “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” to be dead wrong.

In a post after this one, you mention the lifeboat problem, where the chances of facing that ordeal are 100 times less likely than winning a lottery jackpot. Even bothering to choose between those two evils (basically choosing between Satan and . . . Satan again) is to assume in one’s mind that the USA did not exist and only fascism and communism did.
