      Picking the less worst option over the actual worst option are both roads that lead to the same place, one is a little longer and has better scenery, but the destination you end up at is the same either way.

      Picking either one means you’re going the wrong direction entirely.

        What the fuck are you talking about? Both sides are bad but only one is actively rounding up legal immigrants and sending them to concentration camps or El Salvador. They are not the same.
