A bad option doesn’t become a good option when a terrible option is present.
Less bad is still bad, but preferable to worse.
First past the post has entered the chat
I have no idea about what this means. Would you like to explain?
Voting system where you only get to vote for a single candidate on the ballot. Basically always means people will vote for the “least worst” candidate
Thank you. I misinterpreted ‘post’ as social media posts.
Oh lol, that’s quite funny
I literally thought it was social media too. I’ve never heard the political side and I’m an American in my 40s.
Less bad is still bad.
If exactly one of the bad options will come to pass anyway though, and you get to influence which one, why wouldn’t you opt for less bad?
It also usually means you have a better chance of good in the future.
The sources of this post are usually the situations where the options are artificially limited, which are infuriating.
Maybe I should stop add ‘the’ into my sentence…
Your thought-compressing skill is much better than mine.
Binary thinking is what got us where we are in politics.
I’ve heard it referred to as “The worst negates the bad” fallacy.
