You can rank a list of things by preference, even if it contains more than 2 items and multiple items are bad.
Let me give you an example:
Give an innocent child a candy
Run over an innocent child’s foot
Blow up an innocent child with C4
2 of those options are bad and indefensible, but between the bad options, one is certainly worse.
Come back to me when you have an argument that stands up to a light breeze, your “all bad things are equally bad” routine is the kind of nonsense that allows monsters to come into power.
Guess what?

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.
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.
