Right so you go with 1.

You don’t go with left fash/2 or right fash/3, those are out of the question.

That's such a cool story.

Too bad this isn't a discussion about that option. We're discussing the difference between option 2 and option 3, or the lack thereof. You can talk about things you don't want to choose.

Dude, wtf man. This isn't complicated, I don't know why you're having such a hard time of it.

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.
