    Just to be clear about language, “lesser evil” and “greater evil” aren’t like, classifications of evil like a tier list or something, they are directly comparative. If comparing two evils and one is greater, then the other is lesser, definitionally.

      That’s some good framing if your goal is to give power to great evil. Like, you know that doesn’t let you off the hook for voting for great evil, right? That there is no moral high ground there?
