    And we’re discussing how some “options” are not options at all, they fall under the bad label and the degree of difference is irrelevant.

      Maybe “options” was a bad choice of word.

      These are things we’re talking about and just because we’re talking about a thing doesn’t mean we are bound to choose it if given them as a choice.

      I can say that I hate one thing more than another thing without ever being forced to choose either of them.
      Just like in my example I’m not forced to run over a child’s foot just because I spoke about it.

      And besides sometimes you ARE forced to choose between a list of bad options. Especially in politics. There is certainly a “least bad” option, and treating everything bad as equal is, like I said before, how monsters get power.

      I refuse to believe that these are the responses of someone having a good faith discussion. You’re clearly trolling, but idky because you’re not being funny or clever. You’re just making tangential nonsense arguments for no discernable reason.
