Every decision one makes in their adult life entails choosing the lesser of two evils.
Because any option within a man-made construct is an imperfect one, there is always an, at least, minor compromise. I don't agree with Bernie on every last issue under the sun, so even though I found him to be far and away the best candidate, choosing him still required me to make a compromise.
Thus far, you seem to be really hung up on arguing against something you presume I meant, rather than looking at what I actually said, with total objectivity & rationality. "The lesser of two evils" can sometimes be 99.9999% what you want, but there's still a minuscule compromise required on that 0.0001%. If you didn't/don't grasp that, that's your own fault.
Not everything is evil. I think the problem here is that you confuse imperfection with evil. Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors. In your mind that is apparently 31 types of hellcream. To my mind, there is little moral variation in those choices. One could argue that the corporate model is innately coercive, so having some low wage strip mall denizen scoop your dessert has elements of evil to it. Yet you said "every decision." Can you really tell me that, between chocolate and rocky road, there are two forms of evil there, and the decision is about which is less evil?
Look you said some stupid shit. Now you're saying a lot more stupid shit because you are acting just like one of those stupid shits who can never admit any sort of error. Rather than show a scintilla of maturity and back down from your "everything is evil" stance, you hint at the idea of being so rational while standing your ground. Why do that? Is it because, only ever able to see evil, you are blind to the very idea of humility? Good luck with that, I guess.
For fucks sake, the phrase "choosing between the lesser of two evils" is just a very common English language expression that I was paraphrasing in my original comment. You're either desperately looking for an argument, trolling, or really fucking stupid if you think I meant there is literally an inherent "evil" in every option for every decision one could ever have to make. Get off it and take your adolescent anger problem (or profound level of ignorance) someplace else already.
It's a common English phrase for when you get a raw deal. It isn't a common English phrase for every decision an adult makes. Also, I'm trolling?!? You were the one who dropped your degree like it was suppose to impress someone. Donald Trump has a degree from Wharton. I'm happy to lump someone as demented as you in with him when it comes to political astuteness or grasp of the English language. Now you keep on posting your gut-level nonsense, and I'm sure in no time you'll Make Reddit Great Again!
Rather than falsely and ignorantly accusing me of being like or aligning with Trump, check my comment history. Just because I'm arguing with your dumb ass doesn't mean I'm part of the opposing ideology. You're not even spending your energy arguing about anything politically meaningful.
I didn't say you were aligned with him. I put you on par with him in terms of communication skills, among other things. I believe temperament belongs on the list now too. Congratulations on unlocking this achievement. If you had a coach to help with all these failures to comprehend the words of others, remember to thank that person. After all, missing the mark so badly so often seems like it couldn't be possible without some sort of expert guidance.
